For patients with kidney disease, dialysis is an essential, life-sustaining treatment. Dialysis typically requires multiple sessions each week, making it exhausting and time-consuming – especially when travel to and from an outside facility is required.
Onsite at the Methodist Home, our patients can experience the advantages of receiving inpatient dialysis at a skilled nursing facility through our partnership with the Rogosin Institute Dialysis Center. This unique service makes a meaningful difference in comfort, convenience, and quality of care for short-term rehab patients, long-term residents, and outpatients.
Convenience of Inpatient Dialysis
Frequent travel for dialysis can be especially draining for patients recovering from surgery, illness, or injury. Inpatient dialysis available onsite eliminates the stress of transportation, allowing patients to focus their time and energy on healing.
Families also benefit, since they don’t need to juggle transportation schedules or worry about their loved one traveling in extreme weather conditions or while feeling unwell.
Seamless Integration with Rehabilitation Services
Dialysis is only one part of care. At the Methodist Home, patients also have access to physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy – all coordinated under one roof.
This means rehabilitation and inpatient dialysis schedules can be coordinated for maximum efficiency and comfort. Patients don’t lose valuable time traveling between appointments, and therapists can adjust care around dialysis sessions to support energy and recovery.
24/7 Nursing and Medical Support
For many patients, dialysis can come with side effects such as fatigue, low blood pressure, or muscle cramps. While staying at a skilled nursing facility, patients have peace of mind knowing trained nursing and medical staff are on hand 24/7 to monitor health and provide assistance as needed. Any concerns or complications are addressed immediately, with the care team ready to adjust treatment for safety and comfort.
Comfort and Quality of Life
Dialysis can be demanding, which makes a healing environment especially important. Each patient at the Methodist Home enjoys the privacy and comfort of a private room with a private bathroom. Nutritious meals and snacks designed to support recovery are prepared onsite, and daily care needs are managed – allowing patients to focus fully on healing rather than the stress of everyday tasks.
Social and Emotional Benefits
Healing goes beyond the physical – it’s also social and emotional. Many patients find encouragement and companionship by connecting with others who share similar experiences. Opportunities to engage in recreational programs, social gatherings, and daily activities create a sense of community that helps ease the challenges of dialysis and recovery.
This supportive environment can improve patient mood and motivation, which are both key to successful rehabilitation.
