Benefits of Home Dialysis Support

Flexible Schedule

Dialyze on your own schedule—early morning, late evening, or anytime that fits your lifestyle. No more revolving your life around clinic hours.

Comfort of Home

Receive treatment in familiar surroundings with privacy and convenience. Watch TV, work from home, or spend time with family during treatment.

Expert Monitoring

Regular home visits from Dr. Serrano to assess your dialysis access, check vital signs, review labs, and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Reduced Infection Risk

Avoid exposure to healthcare-associated infections by dialyzing at home. Especially important during flu season or pandemics.
