What is a dialysis facility?

A dialysis facility treats people whose kidneys have failed (end-stage kidney disease). Hemodialysis cleans the blood with a machine, usually three times a week at the center; some centers also train patients to do peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis at home. The facilities listed here are certified by Medicare.

What to ask when you call or visit

A general checklist for any dialysis facility, not advice about this one. Medicare also publishes guides on medicare.gov.

  • Which treatment times are open (morning, afternoon, evening shift)? Can the schedule fit your work or transport?
  • Does the center offer home dialysis (peritoneal or home hemodialysis) or training for it?
  • Which kidney doctors (nephrologists) see patients here, and how often?
  • How many patients does each nurse or technician care for during a treatment?
  • Is there a dietitian and a social worker? How do they help with diet, insurance and transport?
  • Can the center help you get on a kidney transplant waiting list?
  • What happens if you need to travel, or if the center closes because of bad weather?
  • Are there staff or interpreters who speak your language?
