What Is Assisted Home Hemodialysis?

Assisted Home Hemodialysis is a rapidly growing treatment option which allows dialysis patients to receive one-on-one safe hemodialysis from the comfort of their home.Treatment is rendered by a private licensed dialysis professional under the supervision of a Nephrologist and Dialysis Care Team.

Treatments are traditionally administered according to the doctor's order. This unique option is family oriented and supports lifestyle initiatives according to each patient’s needs and their daily life activities.

Choosing assisted home hemodialysis, rather than an in-center treatment or self care home hemodialysis, can significantly impact the patients lives, emotionally and physically in a positive way.

Here are some examples:

Peace of mind. Knowing that you don't have to worry about managing the treatment because a professional is taking care of you
No stress having to deal with machines, self-cannulation, self-connection and disconnection, inventory, etc.
Not having to go through training and being able to start your treatment at home faster
Not having to compromise or depend on someone to be your dialysis care partner
Patients that opted for assisted home hemodialysis generally experience better health outcomes, a less stressful dialysis experience, lower risk of infections and contagious disease
According to the Center of Disease and Control, studies show that more frequent dialysis treatments can lead to an increase of energy throughout the day, a healthier appetite and best of all a better quality of life with quicker post treatment recovery time
Schedule control and flexibility to organize when, where and what time treatment is done, allowing patients to enjoy their day to day activities
No more driving or waiting time
One-on-one care with the same qualified and experienced dialysis professional
Traveling with peace of mind without worrying about who or where treatment will be done
