Kunjungan rumah yang merupakan bentuk pelayanan keperawatan yang dilakukan di rumah lansia, berfungsi untuk mengendalikan faktor risiko hipertensi pada agregat lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengendalian faktor risiko hipertensi pada agregat lansia yang sudah dan belum mendapatkan kunjungan rumah di sebuah Kelurahan di Depok. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif komparatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Melalui teknik cluster random sampling diperoleh 176 lansia yang terbagi dalam kelompok yang mendapatkan kunjungan rumah dan yang tidak. Data dianalisis dengan chi square, independent t-test dan Mann Withney test. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa pengaturan diet, pembatasan perilaku merokok, manajemen stres, pengendalian tekanan darah, pengaturan perilaku berolahraga dan status gizi lansia yang mendapatkan kunjungan rumah lebih baik dibandingkan lansia yang tidak. Tingkat stress, tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik pada agregat lansia dengan hipertensi yang belum mendapatkan kunjungan rumah lebih tinggi dibandingkan lansia yang mendapatkan kunjungan rumah.
