Feeling fine doesn't mean you can skip your blood pressure medicine! High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often called the "silent killer" because it has no symptoms. Skipping your medication can increase your risk of serious health problems like heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. So, it's important to take your blood pressure medicine as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel fine. Remember, prevention is always better than cure!

Did you know that blood pressure is a vital sign that measures the force of blood against the walls of your arteries? A healthy blood pressure reading is typically around 120/80 mmHg. However, high blood pressure or hypertension is when your reading consistently measures 130/80 mmHg or higher. This can be dangerous as it increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. Keep your blood pressure in check and know your numbers!

Did you know that Medicare covers most home health services? If you're a Medicare beneficiary and your physician orders home health care services for you, they may be covered under your Medicare plan. This can include skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy as well as speech therapy. It's just one way that Medicare is working to ensure that seniors have access to the care they need, in the comfort of their own homes. "
