Dialysis

Gentler Approach to Care

A Better Way to Do Dialysis

For most people, dialysis means arranging a ride to an outside clinic several times a week. At select Brickyard Healthcare communities, treatment happens on-site, something relatively few skilled nursing care centers are able to offer, so residents never have to leave the place where they’re healing.

Because dialysis, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation all happen under one roof, care stays coordinated. Residents can keep up with physical and occupational therapy between sessions, whether they’re here for short-term rehab or long-term care, which can support a more confident return home.

The benefits of dialysis at Brickyard

Conventional dialysis runs three days a week. We provide more frequent dialysis, five shorter sessions instead, because spreading treatment across more days is easier on the body and delivers real clinical benefits: better fluid and toxin removal, more stable blood chemistry, and steadier blood pressure.

We provide More Frequent Dialysis, five shorter sessions a week instead of the usual three, which is gentler on the body and supports a better quality of life. Your Brickyard care team, your nephrologist, and our dialysis partners stay closely coordinated, so you can focus on feeling stronger rather than managing logistics.
