Our Story:
Fidelity Home Dialysis is the only Staff Assisted Home Hemodialysis Provider in the State of Georgia. Fidelity Home Dialysis was the vision of the company’s CEO to bring to Central Arkansas the modality of Staff Assisted Home Hemodialysis. After seeing the tremendous amount of difference that Staff Assisted Home Hemodialysis was making in AR & TX the decision was made to bring this modality to Georgia. Therefore, after interviewing Nephrologist, Renal Nurses, Hospital Case Mangers, the State Health Department, and Dialysis Patients, the theory was confirmed, that there was a need. The facility is a Boutique Dialysis Clinic which is a fully functioning Federal and State Approved ESRD Facility with one in-center station, to be used also as a back up for Staff Assisted Home Hemodialysis patients. The vision is to create a Facility catering to the needs of staff assisted home hemodialysis patients with one-on-one detailed care. (One nursing staff/patient), in the comforts of their home, with a License Nurse administering every treatment three times a week. Staff Assisted Home Hemodialysis also give our patients flexibility to schedule their treatments around their personal schedules.
FIDELITY DIFFERENCE:
Staff Assisted vs In Center
- The same nurse performs each treatment. And more importantly we only use Licensed Nurses to care for you.
- You use the same machine every treatment. This machine is kept at your home, and for your personal use only.
- Your treatment time is fitted around your schedule; this means no waiting for a chair like in-center.
- Because you are dialyzing in the comfort of your home, and not around other patients, there is less chance of infection and getting sick from other patients.
