Hypertension is a relatively common condition among older adults. It happens when the amount of pressure that the blood exerts on a person’s arteries is higher than acceptable. Many patients of home health care in Lincolnwood, IL, have clinically diagnosed hypertension. But many take it for granted.

Hypertension can cause long-term problems, including many different cardiovascular diseases. It can be easy to ignore because it can happen for many years without any symptoms. However, once diagnosed, any competent home health care agency can help manage it.

Our registered nurses in Illinois know a thing or two about the management of hypertension in the elderly. For starters, if you acquire our services, here are some of the ways we will do to help you deal with hypertension:

• We routinely provide blood pressure monitoring so that we can help you manage the condition better.
• Any prescription medication must be taken religiously. But to ensure optimized medication adherence, we will provide medication assistance or reminders as needed.
• Stress can exacerbate hypertension. In all our dealings with our clients, we will make sure to keep them away from stressful events.
