Peritoneal Dialysis Care


At Ciena Healthcare, we are committed to providing exceptional support for individuals managing chronic conditions like kidney disease. Our dedicated team is experienced in accommodating the care needs of residents who require peritoneal dialysis, creating a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive.

Whether your loved one is recovering from a medical event or requires long-term care, we are here to offer the expertise and compassionate attention they need.

What Is Peritoneal Dialysis?

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment option for individuals with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease. It involves using the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum) as a natural filter to remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the body.

Our medical staff, nurses, and caregivers assist with the peritoneal dialysis approach prescribed to each resident, whether Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) multiple times a day or overnight Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD).

Both options allow residents to receive their dialysis treatments safely in our communities without needing to travel.

Peritoneal dialysis does requires careful monitoring and strict adherence to procedures. At Ciena Healthcare, our nurses and caregivers are equipped to accommodate the needs of residents undergoing peritoneal dialysis, providing a supportive environment to manage their treatment effectively.

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.
