My mother is diagnosed with high blood pressure. how often should she have a health checkup to reduce health risk? many thanks!

Annual examination: Annual examination by an internist is probably reasonable. I would like her to get a blood pressure calf at home and monitor her bp. In general a systolic BP should be in the 130's and diastolic in the 70's.
