Peritoneal Dialysis Care

Supporting Residents Who Require Peritoneal Dialysis

Collaborative Care Planning

When a new resident joins our community, we collaborate with their healthcare providers and family members to develop a comprehensive care plan. This plan outlines their dialysis schedule, dietary needs, and any other accommodations required for their comfort and well-being.

Safe and Hygienic Environment

Peritoneal dialysis requires a sterile environment to prevent infections like peritonitis. At Ciena Healthcare, we prioritize maintaining clean, hygienic spaces that reduce risks and promote the safety of our residents. Our staff is trained in infection prevention protocols to provide optimal care.

Skilled Assistance and Oversight

While peritoneal dialysis can be self-administered, most of our residents who receive dialysis benefit from the additional support provided by our nurses and caregivers. Our team is available to assist with:

• Managing dialysis equipment.
• Monitoring treatment progress and documenting any changes in health.
• Providing reminders and guidance to ensure procedures are followed correctly.

Nutritional Support

Residents undergoing peritoneal dialysis often have specific dietary requirements to support kidney health and overall well-being. Our dietary team works closely with residents to develop meal plans that are both nutritious and enjoyable.

Emotional and Social Support

Living with a chronic condition can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. Our staff is here to offer compassionate care and encouragement, fostering a sense of community and connection among residents. Social activities, support groups, and one-on-one interactions help residents maintain a positive outlook on life.

We also offer educational resources about peritoneal dialysis, helping families better understand the treatment process and how to provide support.

Families are encouraged to stay involved, whether through regular visits, participation in care planning meetings, or simply staying connected with their loved ones.

Why Regular Dialysis Support Matters

Peritoneal dialysis is essential for residents with kidney disease to maintain their health and quality of life. Consistent support and adherence to treatment schedules help residents:

• Avoid complications like fluid buildup and toxin overload.
• Manage symptoms effectively, improving daily comfort.
• Enjoy greater independence and mobility compared to other dialysis methods.
