Traveling While On Dialysis
Traveling with home dialysis – whether peritoneal dialysis (PD) or home hemodialysis (HHD) – is more accessible than ever, thanks to advanced medical technologies and specialized support services. Home Dialysis Therapies empowers patients to travel by providing comprehensive travel planning assistance. For PD patients, portable cyclers and supplies can be shipped directly to your destination, while HHD patients can coordinate with dialysis centers or mobile dialysis services at their travel locations. Your care team at Home Dialysis Therapies can help plan for critical aspects to your treatment while you travel like medication management, equipment transportation, medical documentation, and travel insurance considerations. Beyond logistical support, we provide patients with confidence, helping them understand that a dialysis treatment plan does not mean sacrificing the joy of travel, but instead requires thoughtful preparation and expert guidance.

Working While on Dialysis
Working while on home dialysis is not only possible but can be a fulfilling aspect of maintaining personal and professional identity during treatment. At Home Dialysis Therapies, we have a team of dedicated licensed social workers who provide comprehensive support to help patients successfully balance dialysis treatment with career aspirations. We offer personalized guidance that goes beyond medical care, helping patients navigate the complex workplace landscape of managing a chronic health condition. Our social workers assist patients in understanding their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, developing strategies for discussing their healthcare needs with employers, and identifying workplace accommodations that can support their continued professional engagement. We recognize that each individual patient’s professional journey is unique, and our holistic approach means providing individualized counsel that addresses not just medical needs, but the practical, emotional, and professional challenges of working while on dialysis. By offering this comprehensive support, we help patients maintain their professional momentum, financial independence, and sense of purpose, proving that a dialysis diagnosis does not mean an end to career development or professional satisfaction.

Fitness
At Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego, we understand that fitness plays a crucial role in enhancing our patient’s quality of life while on dialysis. Our program encourages regular physical activity tailored to each individual’s capabilities and needs, helping to improve strength, endurance, and overall well-being. We offer resources and support to help patients incorporate safe exercises into their daily routines. Fitness is an important component for transplant readiness. By fostering a culture of movement and wellness, we aim to empower our patients to enhance their quality of life, boost their energy levels, and support their dialysis therapy through an active lifestyle.
