Staff-Assisted Home Dialysis
Experienced dialysis professionals support your home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatments, so you can receive care at home with confidence.
Home dialysis support, delivered where you live
Staff-assisted home dialysis means a trained healthcare professional helps you complete your prescribed dialysis treatments at home. Primo Healthcare Services provides staff assistance for both home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, connecting patients and families with experienced dialysis professionals.
This service is appropriate for people whose care team has prescribed home dialysis and who want the reassurance of a trained professional present during treatment. It can help those who are new to home dialysis, who need extra support for some sessions, or whose family caregivers want experienced help alongside them.

Home Hemodialysis vs. Peritoneal Dialysis
Both treatments filter your blood at home, but they work differently. Your nephrologist prescribes the right option for you; Primo provides the staff support for whichever one you follow.
| Feature | Home Hemodialysis | Peritoneal Dialysis |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment location | Your home | Your home |
| How it works | Blood is filtered by a home hemodialysis machine, typically several shorter sessions per week | The lining of your abdomen filters your blood, often overnight or through exchanges during the day |
| Staff support from Primo | RNs, LPNs, and dialysis technicians assist with setup, monitoring, and the session | Staff assist with exchanges, training reinforcement, and monitoring as needed |
| Typical schedule | Multiple sessions per week, scheduled around your routine | Often daily, including overnight options depending on your prescription |
Treatment specifics follow your nephrologist's prescription. This comparison is a general overview, not medical advice.
Your nephrologist guides your care
Your nephrologist stays your physician throughout home dialysis. You remain under their care. Primo works collaboratively with them, providing experienced dialysis professionals who carry out your prescribed treatments according to their orders and support communication, documentation, and continuity of care.
