Dialysis for Skilled Nursing Facilities
Your residents deserve dialysis care that doesn't disrupt their day. KidneyCare brings expert dialysis services directly to your SNF—no transportation headaches, no scheduling conflicts, no gaps in care.
Why SNFs Choose KidneyCare
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.

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