Dialysis in a Skilled Nursing Facility: Receive Care in Your Home | Nursing home and other skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents may be able to receive onsite dialysis rather than traveling to a center for treatment. Onsite dialysis at a SNF may help reduce stress associated with being transported to care and create the potential for better-coordinated care between your SNF, nephrologist and DaVita care team in your residence. All of this may ultimately lead to a better quality of life for you.
