When managing dialysis, especially for patients with complex health needs, it’s crucial to receive treatment in an environment where care is streamlined and well-coordinated.

Inpatient dialysis services at skilled nursing facilities like the Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation, in partnership with the Rogosin Institute, offer a unique advantage by providing access to a range of healthcare services in one facility.

A Holistic Approach to Patient Care

In a traditional outpatient dialysis center, patients must often juggle multiple appointments at different locations. They may see a nephrologist in one building, receive dialysis treatment in another, and visit specialists for additional care elsewhere. This fragmented approach can be time-consuming, stressful, and difficult to manage, especially for patients with other health conditions.

At the Methodist Home, our healthcare team works together under one roof, providing not only dialysis services but also skilled nursing care, physical therapy, other therapy services, and medical services and treatments. This coordinated approach allows for seamless communication between caregivers, reducing the risk of missed information or delays in treatment.

Personalized Care and Monitoring

With inpatient dialysis, patients can benefit from closer monitoring and more personalized care than in an outpatient setting. Our multidisciplinary team, which includes nephrologists, physicians, nurses, therapists, dietitians, and social workers, works together to create a care plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

This approach ensures that potential changes in a patient’s condition are quickly identified and addressed. For example, if a patient undergoing dialysis experiences difficulty with mobility or nutrition, our team can immediately step in to provide physical therapy or nutritional guidance – without the need for additional referrals or appointments.

The Convenience of On-Site Services

Another key benefit of inpatient dialysis in a skilled nursing facility is convenience. Patients don’t have to travel to different locations for different treatments, which can be a significant relief –  especially for seniors or those with limited mobility. Instead, all services are provided on-site, allowing patients to receive the comprehensive care they need in a comfortable, familiar environment.

Additionally, this can help reduce the physical strain of traveling between appointments and provide patients with a sense of security knowing that a skilled team is always nearby to assist with any health concerns.

Promoting a Better Quality of Life

By offering coordinated care under one roof, skilled nursing facilities like the Methodist Home promote a better quality of life for patients undergoing dialysis. With a focus on comfort, convenience, and personalized care, we help our patients stay as healthy and independent as possible during their treatment journey.
