A practice built around Orange County families

From post-surgical recovery at home to long-term care planning for aging parents, our team brings hospital-level clinical oversight into the privacy of your residence.
Newport Beach's top-ranked hospital, one address away
Hoag Hospital Newport Beach, on the bluff above the harbor at 1 Hoag Drive, has been ranked the top hospital in Orange County by U.S. News & World Report for nine consecutive years and carries a 5-Star overall quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Our team coordinates hospital-to-home transitions directly with Hoag's case management and discharge planning staff, and with the orthopedic surgeons at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in nearby Irvine, so private-pay nursing is arranged before your family member leaves the building.
One of Orange County's most senior communities
Roughly one in four Newport Beach residents is 65 or older, a share well above the county average, and the city's median household income sits close to 35 percent higher than Orange County's countywide median. Families here are often equipped to choose private-pay nursing outright rather than wait on facility placement, and a large share of our work is ongoing aging-at-home coordination, not just a short post-surgical window.
Concierge medicine network
We work alongside concierge and direct primary care physicians serving Newport Beach families, including MDVIP-affiliated practices and independent concierge cardiology and orthopedic groups. Your concierge physician retains medical authority and handles the diagnostic work. We handle the day-to-day clinical execution at home.
A recognized hub for surgical and cosmetic recovery
Newport Beach carries a national reputation for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, supported by a dense concentration of board-certified plastic surgeons and accredited outpatient surgical centers, many with hospital-affiliation privileges at Hoag. Private post-operative recovery oversight, wound monitoring, drain care, and medication oversight are coordinated under Meagan Williams's clinical oversight.
Discretion built in, gate to gate
Newport Beach has real logistics most agencies never plan for: guard-gated communities in Newport Coast that require staff credentialing to get through, and car-free or golf-cart-only streets on Balboa Island and Bay Island. We coordinate gate access and arrival details in advance so a nursing visit is never the reason your address becomes a topic of conversation.
Six core programs, one nurse-led team
Every Newport Beach engagement starts with an intake assessment and a written care plan led by a Registered Nurse. From there we coordinate the services that fit the situation.

Transition support after a hospital, rehab, or ER discharge. Medication setup, wound oversight, family communication.

Learn more →Six Levels of Recovery Care After Surgery in Newport Beach
In a peer-reviewed survey of joint replacement patients who experienced both same-day discharge and an overnight hospital stay, 63 percent preferred the same-day discharge. That preference, paired with a hospital literally inside the city at Hoag Hospital Newport Beach, means more patients are going home the same day they have surgery, with less built-in time to arrange care before someone walks through the door needing it. We built six aftercare tiers so a family can match coverage to acuity instead of guessing. All tiers are private-pay and RN-delivered, coordinated with your surgeon's or physician's discharge plan rather than replacing it.
Comfort Care Visit
Best for lower-acuity outpatient procedures, common among the plastic surgery patients who make up a meaningful share of Newport Beach's recovery volume, and for post-op check-ins after a same-day procedure at one of the city's accredited surgical centers. A Registered Nurse checks vital signs, reviews discharge instructions, sets up medications, and confirms wound care is being followed correctly.
Full Recovery Day
Built for the day a patient comes home from Hoag Hospital or Hoag Orthopedic Institute after a standard joint replacement or general surgical procedure, the day risk is highest and the hospital's own care team is no longer watching. Covers vital sign monitoring, pain management coordination with the surgeon's office, mobility assistance, and medication administration per physician orders through a full first day home.
Elevated Recovery Day
For higher-acuity cases such as a mommy makeover, body contouring, revision joint replacement, or multi-site plastic surgery, where a shorter facility stay did not mean a lighter clinical need. Adds more intensive monitoring, drain management, and closer pain titration coordination with the surgical team across a longer day.
Overnight Recovery Care
For patients who prefer or require an overnight stay, and especially for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery patients who want a private RN presence overnight at home rather than a surgical recovery facility, a common request in Newport Beach given the concentration of local plastic surgery practices. An RN stays through the night for symptom monitoring, medication timing, and mobility assistance.
Round-the-Clock Care
Matched to hip fracture recovery and to the meaningful share of older Newport Beach residents who live alone, in a city where roughly one in four residents is 65 or older. Continuous RN coverage across a full day, so care never steps down to unattended hours during the highest-risk window after a serious procedure.
Extended Stay Recovery
For complex reconstructive surgery, revision procedures, or multi-day recovery stretches, including care coordinated through guard-gated Newport Coast communities where staff access and scheduling need to be arranged in advance. Scheduling and staffing are built around the individual recovery plan rather than a fixed block, so we quote it after intake.
Private duty nursing in Newport Beach
Newport Beach private duty requests skew toward two situations: recovery at home after a procedure, often following Hoag Hospital, and continuous coverage for an older parent whose family wants clinical presence without moving them into a facility. That second category shows up more often here than in most of our service area. Roughly one in four Newport Beach residents is 65 or older, well above the Orange County countywide average, and the city's median household income runs close to 35 percent above the county median, which puts private-pay nursing within reach for far more families than the regional norm.
Discretion matters more here than in most of our service area, and we treat it as part of the job. Nurses arrive unmarked, gate credentials for Newport Coast and other guard-gated communities are arranged in advance, and we plan around narrow-street and golf-cart-only access on Balboa Island and the harbor islands rather than treating it as an afterthought. Who is receiving care is not something we discuss outside the clinical team.

Do you provide private nursing after surgery at Hoag Hospital Newport Beach?
Yes. Post-surgical recovery is one of our most-requested services. Hoag Hospital Newport Beach has been ranked the top hospital in Orange County for nine consecutive years, and complex joint cases are often referred to Hoag Orthopedic Institute in nearby Irvine. We coordinate with your surgeon and with the discharge planning team at either facility so the move from operating room to home is fully supported, including wound monitoring, drain care, medication oversight, and family communication.
What does private nursing cost after surgery in Newport Beach?
It depends on what the recovery requires, which is why we built six aftercare tiers instead of one flat rate. A Comfort Care Visit covers six hours, a Full Recovery Day covering the day of a standard surgical discharge covers eight hours, and coverage scales up through Elevated Recovery Day, Overnight Recovery Care, and Round-the-Clock Care, which covers a full 24 hours. Extended Stay Recovery for multi-day recoveries is scheduled after consultation. All tiers are private-pay and RN-delivered, with exact pricing confirmed by phone during a free consultation.
Can you work alongside our concierge physician?
Yes. We routinely partner with concierge MDs, direct primary care practices, and specialist physicians in Newport Beach. In-home clinical execution is coordinated by Meagan Williams, RN, BSN, with CCRN certification in adult critical care, and the nurses she works with, while your physician retains medical authority over the care plan.
How quickly can private nursing start, including for a same-day discharge?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours, and often the same day when a discharge is already happening. In a peer-reviewed survey of joint replacement patients, 63 percent who experienced both said they preferred same-day discharge over an overnight stay, so we regularly arrange coverage to start the moment a patient leaves Hoag or a Newport Beach surgical center. The first step is an intake assessment, which can be completed before your family member leaves the building.
Do your nurses work within guard-gated communities like Newport Coast, or car-free areas like Balboa Island?
Yes. We coordinate gate credentials and arrival logistics for guard-gated Newport Coast communities, including Pelican Hill, in advance of the first visit, and we plan around the narrow streets and golf-cart or walk-in access on Balboa Island and the other harbor islands. These details are handled during intake so they never delay a scheduled visit.
Is WholeHealth Concierge discreet?
Yes. Discretion is a foundational expectation of our Newport Beach clients. All communications, visits, and coordination are handled directly between our nurse care team, the client, and any family members specifically authorized by the client, and nurses arrive unmarked.
Can an in-home nurse help an aging parent in Newport Beach who isn't recovering from surgery?
Yes. Roughly one in four Newport Beach residents is 65 or older, a share well above the Orange County countywide average, and a large share of our work here is ongoing rather than post-surgical: oversight of a complicated medication list, monitoring a chronic condition, catching small changes before they become a hospital visit, and coordinating between specialists so nothing falls through between appointments. Hours can be steady weekly coverage instead of a short recovery block, planned and supervised by a Registered Nurse.
