Post-hospital home care in Mesa, Arizona.

The calls we get from Mesa

Post-hospital home care is the most common reason Mesa families call Wellby. A parent is being discharged from Banner Desert Medical Center or Banner Baywood 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 lives in Gilbert or commutes to Phoenix every day.

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 Mesa 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 Banner Desert or Banner Baywood, 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 Mesa 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 father has not finished his water by mid-afternoon. Someone gets your mother to her follow-up at Banner Desert on the day marked in her discharge packet. That is the work.
