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.

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.
