What to Expect During Your First Wellness Visit

Scheduling your first wellness visit can feel like a big step. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of what happens before, during, and after your first visit with Desert Wellness Group.

Before the Visit

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Everything starts with a phone call or contact form submission. During this conversation, we'll:

Learn about your situation and needs
Explain our services and answer your questions
Determine if our non-medical wellness visits are the right fit
Discuss scheduling and package options

This consultation is completely free and comes with no obligation.

Step 2: Intake & Paperwork

Basic demographic information
Emergency contacts
Wellness goals and any specific concerns
Consent forms and service agreements
Communication preferences for family updates

During the Visit

Arrival & Introduction

Our staff member will arrive at the scheduled time, introduce themselves, show identification, and verify your identity and emergency contacts.

Wellness Observation

Through friendly conversation and observation, we'll check on six key areas: safety and environment, mobility, medication awareness, nutrition and hydration, mood and cognitive awareness, and general wellness.

Home Safety Check

We'll take a look at the home environment — lighting, walkways, trip hazards, bathroom safety, and accessibility.

Medication Reminders

If medications are due during the visit, we'll provide a friendly reminder. We never administer or handle medications.

Conversation & Connection

Beyond the checklist, our visits are about human connection. We take time to listen, engage, and make sure you feel heard and supported.

After the Visit

Documentation: Our staff documents all observations from the visit
Family Communication: With your permission, we share a summary with designated family members
SOAP Notes: For 60 and 90-minute visits, detailed SOAP notes are available upon request
