Certified Nurse Assistants in Fountain Valley Assist Elderly with Hypertension

A high number of people pass away from hypertension-related cardiovascular disease each year. The number of people who suffer from hypertension increases dramatically each year. It is suggested that this increasing number is blamed on lifestyle and dietary factors such as lack of exercise, alcohol consumption and a significant intake of unhealthy food. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, rarely has noticeable symptoms and is often referred to as “the silent killer”. The symptoms include headaches, dizziness, and nosebleeds, all of which can be confused for other ailments. As our loved ones age, it is important to have a conversation about this condition and to stay aware of their body.

Don’t Live With Your Elderly Loved Ones?

We all lead busy lifestyles and we all move on from our homes. Many times we do not live near our parents or grandparents and because of this it is extremely important to consider outside help. A-1 Home Care in Fountain Valley provides 24 hour live-in caregivers that have dedicated their lives to assisting clients. Family members experiencing hypertension should consistently be aware of their blood pressure. This is why our home care agency offers certified nurse assistants who are trained to measure blood pressure as well as look out for symptoms that display signs of hypertension. They are CPR certified, first aid trained and have at least two years of prior caregiving experience. Our home care agency has been a care provider in Fountain Valley since 1991 and has an A + rating from the Better Business Bureau.
