This consensus statement emphasizes shifting hypertension management in care-dependent older adults from strict numerical blood pressure targets to individualized care, including deprescribing and safety protocols for bathing and rehabilitation, to preserve quality of life and prevent adverse events.
May warrant deprescribing to preserve QoL in nursing care-dependent older adults; challenges strict BP targets below 120 mmHg.
