Is home dialysis right for me?
Many people who were told “no” elsewhere still qualify for home dialysis. It’s effective for a wide range of patients. The best way to know is a free conversation with our dialysis nurse—call us to set one up.

​

What is your new patient process?
It’s straightforward:
1. Call us
2. Meet with our nurse, maybe get a education class
3. We help coordinate catheter placement when needed
4. Start training

We handle insurance authorization and supply setup so you can focus on learning.

​

I don’t have insurance. Can I still receive treatment?
Most people starting dialysis can enroll in Medicare. Our social worker helps with applications and paperwork. Call us and we’ll walk through your situation.

​

What would doctors choose if they needed dialysis?
Surveys of kidney doctors have found that many would choose home dialysis—including peritoneal dialysis—for themselves or their families. Still, only a minority of U.S. patients are on home therapy. If you want to explore whether home dialysis is right for you, we’re here to help.

​

Is there a higher infection risk with PD?
All dialysis carries some infection risk. Chest catheters used for some in-center treatments can lead to serious bloodstream infections. PD uses a catheter in the abdomen—not the bloodstream—which changes the risk profile. We teach infection-prevention steps thoroughly during training.

​

I’m afraid to do home dialysis. I’d rather let professionals do it.
Feeling unsure is normal. Home PD is taught step by step until you and the team are comfortable. If home therapy ever isn’t the right fit, returning to in-center care is always an option. Many people who try PD prefer to stay with it.

​

When can I start?
Call us and we’ll help you get scheduled as soon as it’s clinically and logistically appropriate.

​

Can I keep my doctor?
Yes. We coordinate closely with your nephrologist and care team so everyone stays aligned while you dialyze with us.
