How far would you drive to get home hemo?

Deb and Evelyn,
I checked the DaVita site and got in, no problem. There is a DaVita at home in Philadelphia, about 3 1/2 hours from where I live. Left my info on their site to get the particulars.
When I spoke to our MD tonight while hubby was dialyzing, he said he would support us. Took a little convincing,but he did finally agree. Now I’m told the dialysis center we’re at did have a home dialysis program several years ago, but it’s been discontinued. We go at night, so there was no management to talk to. I’m wondering if I can badger someone into doing the training there. Half hour drive is better than 3 1/2, but if I can only get what I want in Phillie, off we go.
Thanks for the information. I’ll keep you posted.
Deb, how was the first night run for you? Anxious to hear.

Hi- I see that you are in Montgomery. I am originally from Utica, NY which is about three hours from you. I am aware of a home program in Oneonta, NY using Aksys- think short daily, and the Rubin center in Troy-nocturnal and I am not sure what they use. There are also some in NY. Of course, because I was at the Philly program, I highly recommend it.
