Stories of Care and Support | Wellthy
Every family’s care journey is personal and special
Wellthy members describe how we help care for loved ones.
We work alongside families so they get the right care, when they need it the most
We coordinate care and find answers to every question — so families can focus on love over healthcare logistics.
Caregiving from afar
When Elaina’s father — who lived on the opposite side of the country — was diagnosed with bladder cancer, her family’s world changed on a dime. Elaina turned to Wellthy for help in managing a new cancer diagnosis, to relocate her dad across coasts, and to set up healthcare infrastructure in his new home so that he would have everything he needed to prioritize his own health and care.
Taking care of yourself while taking care of others
In the span of just two months, Amber became the primary caregiver to three family members. The intensity of that experience brought her to Wellthy, where she worked with a Care Coordinator to set up an action plan to make sure her loved ones had all the care they needed — and that Amber was able to take care of her own health, too.
Juggling ‘sandwich generation’ care responsibilities
Shanna is raising three neurodiverse children and caring for her widowed mother — which makes her part of a growing ‘sandwich generation’ of people who are managing care for their kids alongside care for aging relatives and parents. A sudden health scare for her mom underscored for Shanna that one of the most important things a family member can do is develop a care plan for their loved ones.
Connection and community for family caregivers
Caregiving can often feel isolating and lonely, even though countless families are navigating care journeys. For Chris, the guidance, resources, and connection offered through Wellthy Community as he was managing his father’s end of life journey became a source of support and comfort.
Supporting families across a range of medical conditions
Wellthy’s Care Team has years of experience working alongside families to navigate complex care journeys.
Dementia
“My mom is struggling with dementia and she lives in another state, very far from our home. Our Wellthy representative has been there to help us locate assisted living facilities and to help us work through all the steps and forms required to relocate mom closer to our home so she can spend the rest of her years close to her children and grandchildren.”
— Sammi, Wellthy member
Cancer
“I am dealing with the beginning of my mother’s cancer treatment. I also have a dad who is advanced in age with failing mobility. The Wellthy care team could not have come at a better time — the team is responsive, provides a wealth of detailed information on the actions they are taking on my behalf. I'm at the beginning of this journey and Wellthy has been my secret weapon behind the scenes in helping me manage this process.”
— Nathan, Wellthy member
Neurodiversity
“Our family has two neurodiverse kids and to navigate the insurance and providers is time consuming and frustrating. The team that supports us is awesome, helping us to navigate everything.”
— Voon-Shyan, Wellthy member
Stroke
“Wellthy has helped me navigate resources and options for my mother following her stroke. The Wellthy team has been like a second set of hands to research items on my behalf … enabling me to make informed decisions regarding my mother's care.”
— Marini, Wellthy member
Getting things done for families
Wellthy’s Care Team has completed more than 120,000 projects and tasks for families, covering nearly every type of care situation.
Financial assistance
“Thank you Wellthy for helping sort through all of my son's medical bills to ensure we were being charged correctly, and for suggesting financial aid/grants to help us get the remainder of his medical bills paid. I would have never known about this assistance without you!”
— Lisa, Wellthy member
In-home support
“I had no idea there were so many resources out there to help seniors in almost any situation. My Wellthy Care Coordinator has been amazing at finding organizations and companies that can help us. From in-home medical and non-medical care to transportation to home improvements.”
— Lynne, Wellthy member
Childcare
“My Care Coordinator was kind, patient, and worked tirelessly to find us a great long-term childcare option for our son. I appreciate the personal touch she brought to the experience and guidance throughout the process.”
— Jonathan, Wellthy member
Housing
“The team at Wellthy has been incredibly responsive. They have helped answer some of my questions about my aging mother's future housing options and insurance coverages. It's been a pleasure and a relief to have the team's expertise and know-how to navigate next steps.”
— Annie, Wellthy member
