Post-Hospital Care in Sun City
Post-hospital home care is a common reason Sun City families call Wellby. A parent or spouse is being discharged from Banner Boswell Medical Center or Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center after a fall, surgery, or acute illness. The discharge instructions assume someone will be home to help with bathing, meals, and mobility. In Sun City, that someone is often an elderly spouse who cannot safely help transfer a partner from the bed to the bathroom, or an adult child who has flown in from out of state for a week and will not be here next 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 loved one comes home. Our Sun City 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 or spouse is being discharged in the next 48 hours, call us immediately so we can explore same-day or next-day coverage.
We coordinate with your care team at Banner Boswell or Banner Del E. Webb, 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 Sun City families tell us Wellby earns its place. Someone is in the house when the home health nurse arrives and when she leaves. Someone walks your spouse to the bathroom at 3 a.m. so you do not have to. Someone drives your wife to her follow-up at Banner Boswell on the day marked in the discharge packet. That is the work.
How Post-Hospital Care works in Sun City
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 Sun City 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 wife comes home. Same-day and next-day starts are possible when we have the information we need up front.
2 to 6 weeks for most households. Some Sun City clients transition to longer-term companion or personal care because an elderly spouse cannot safely provide all the support on their own. Others wrap up once recovery is complete.
