The SNF Dialysis Challenge

Managing dialysis for SNF residents is complex and disruptive when using traditional outpatient centers

Transportation Burden

Coordinating ambulance transports 3x per week is expensive, time-consuming, and stressful for residents.

Schedule Disruption

Residents miss meals, activities, and therapies. Staff schedules revolve around dialysis pickup times.

Care Fragmentation

Outpatient dialysis staff don't know your residents. Medical information gets lost in transitions.

Emergency Gaps

When a resident misses dialysis or needs urgent treatment, getting them seen quickly is difficult.

Resident Fatigue

Hours of travel and waiting exhaust residents. They return too tired for rehabilitation therapies.

Documentation Challenges

Obtaining records from external dialysis centers delays care decisions.

Isolation-Capable Workflow

Accept Admissions Other SNFs Decline

Hepatitis C, MDRO, and COVID-positive dialysis residents are routinely turned away by SNFs without isolation-capable dialysis. Our program includes dedicated equipment rotation, separated treatment slots, and CDC-compliant infection control so isolation status is no longer a barrier to your admissions team.

HCV-positive residents — dedicated machines per CDC guidance
MDRO precautions integrated into treatment workflow
COVID-positive residents — isolated treatment slots
Documented infection-control protocols, survey-ready

Census Impact

SNFs that add isolation-capable dialysis typically expand their addressable referral base by 20–35%, because hospitals can finally discharge complex dialysis cases to facilities that can take them.

CMS Five-Star Quality Measures

On-Site Dialysis Moves the Measures That Matter

Three of the CMS Five-Star quality measures are directly affected by how dialysis is delivered. Eliminating ambulance transport and outpatient handoffs moves all three in the right direction.

Reduced

Rehospitalization Rate

Most 30-day dialysis-related rehospitalizations trace to missed treatments, access complications, or post-transport fluid shifts. On-site dialysis closes the gap.

Reduced

Emergency Department Transfers

Urgent dialysis needs are handled on-site by our 24/7 on-call nephrologist instead of becoming an ED visit.

Improved

Functional Improvement / Discharge to Community

Residents who skip 6+ hours of transport-and-wait per week have measurably more energy for PT and rehab.

Every Dialysis Modality, In Your Building

You don't have to refuse a resident because they're on a modality you don't support. We handle all four under one contract.

In-Center Hemodialysis

3x/week HD delivered at bedside or in a dedicated treatment area within your facility.

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

PD-trained nurses manage cycler setup, exchanges, and peritonitis monitoring on-site.

Home Hemodialysis (HHD) Support

Residents who arrive on HHD stay on their modality — we maintain the equipment and supervise.

Isolation Dialysis

Dedicated machines and time slots for HCV / MDRO / COVID-positive residents per CDC standards.
