Heart Care for Seniors at Shore Village in Lynn, MA
The risk for developing heart disease increases as age goes up. In the monthly education program three days ago (May 30), Right at Home Boston and North discussed heart health issues with residents at Shore Village in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Our team played the “Heart Health” episode of the Feel Grand with Jane Seymour series.
Following the screening, the floor was opened for discussion. Participants exchanged ideas on how to maintain heart health. Heart care recommendations included:
- Develop healthy lifestyle habits such as exercising regularly
- Maintain a healthy diet. E.g. eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, reduce alcohol intake
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Get regular check-ups from primary care physician
Brenda Forster, Director of Nursing of Right at Home also offered a free blood pressure and oxygen levels checking for the residents of Shore Village during the event.
