Post-hospital home care in Gilbert, Arizona.

The calls we get from Gilbert

Post-hospital home care is the most common reason Gilbert families call Wellby. A parent is being discharged from Mercy Gilbert Medical Center or Banner Gateway after a fall, surgery, or acute illness. The discharge instructions assume someone will be home to help with bathing, meals, and mobility. Often that someone is an adult child who works full time and has a calendar that cannot absorb another twenty hours a week.

The ideal path is to call us before the discharge date. We schedule a free consultation, match a caregiver, and work to have coverage ready when your parent comes home. Our Gilbert post-hospital shifts typically run 4 to 8 hours a day for the first few weeks, with longer coverage in the first 48 hours when the risk of falls and confusion is highest. If your parent is being discharged in the next 48 hours, call us and we will look at same-day or next-day coverage together.

We coordinate with your care team at Mercy Gilbert or Banner Gateway, any home health nurses your doctor has ordered, and your primary care physician. Wellby is non-medical, so we do not provide wound care, IV therapy, or skilled nursing. We provide everything around the medical care: bathing, meal prep, mobility support, transportation to follow-up appointments, and the steady presence that often makes the difference between a smooth recovery and a readmission.

The first two weeks home from the hospital are where Gilbert families tell us Wellby earns its place. Someone is in the house when the home health nurse arrives and when she leaves. Someone notices your mother has not finished her water by mid-afternoon. Someone gets your father to his follow-up at Mercy Gilbert on the day marked in the discharge packet. That is the work.
