Post-Hospital Care in Phoenix
A parent is being discharged tomorrow from Banner University and you are reading this at 9 p.m. from your kitchen. That is when most Phoenix families call. Wellby caregivers in Phoenix handle bathing, mobility support, meal preparation according to any dietary instructions, transportation to follow-up appointments, and the gentle steady presence that makes the first two weeks home go right.
Call us before the discharge date so the consultation and caregiver match are done in advance. If your parent is being discharged in the next 48 hours, call us immediately so we can explore same-day or next-day coverage. Phoenix has a lot of hospitals, and we regularly work with families coming home from Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, St. Joseph's, HonorHealth, and the smaller campuses across the Valley.
We coordinate with any home health nurses your doctor has ordered and we follow the care plan your physician set. Wellby is not a home health agency. We do not provide wound care, IV therapy, or skilled nursing. What we do is everything around the medical care.
The first two weeks home from the hospital are where Phoenix 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 University on the day marked in her discharge packet. That is the work.
How Post-Hospital Care works in Phoenix
Post-hospital care works best when it starts before the discharge date. Call us as soon as you know your loved one is coming home. We schedule a free care consultation, match a caregiver, and work to have coverage ready when they arrive home. Wellby is not a home health agency, so we do not provide wound care, IV therapy, or skilled nursing. We work alongside any home health nurses your doctor has ordered and we coordinate with your care team at the local hospital.

Questions Phoenix families ask
Short answers to the questions we hear most. If yours is not here, call us.
No. Wellby is non-medical home care, which is generally not covered by Medicare. Medicare may cover home health (skilled nursing or therapy at home) for a limited time after a hospital stay, which is a separate service. The two often work well together.
Call us as soon as you know the discharge date. We will schedule a free care consultation and work to match a caregiver before your loved one comes home.
No. Wound care is a medical service provided by home health nurses, not non-medical caregivers. We can help with everything around the medical care: bathing, meal prep, mobility, transportation, and companionship. For wound care, ask your physician for a home health referral.
Call us as soon as you know the discharge date. We will schedule a free consultation and work to match a caregiver before your father comes home. Same-day and next-day starts are possible when we have the information we need up front.
Yes. Wellby provides the non-medical daily support while home health nurses provide skilled medical care. The two services complement each other and we coordinate directly with the home health team as directed by the family.
