Our renal care services are available to those with kidney disease and kidney failure to help manage symptoms associated with those chronic conditions.

We provide transportation to dialysis centers so your loved one can receive continued renal care. That promotes wellness and helps your loved one address comorbidities associated with kidney disease. Our approach to renal care means we address your loved one’s needs as a whole to support the effectiveness of their renal care and dialysis. That includes nutritional services, psychological resources and activity programs.
How Renal Care Supports Quality of Life
Our Renal care can help your loved one manage their symptoms and slow the progression of their kidney disease. Consistent care can delay the need for dialysis and kidney transplantation and support their long-term health.
Living with a chronic disease can take a toll on your loved one’s emotional health. Our renal care program includes counseling services to empower your senior to address mental wellness and work through feelings of anxiety, depression and helplessness.

Embassy Healthcare’s Renal Care Services
Kidney Health Monitoring
Our dedicated staff provides ongoing assessments to detect any signs of kidney function abnormalities that could impact your loved one’s treatment. Regular monitoring is also important if your loved one is at risk for kidney disease due to conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure. Our services include blood and urine tests, blood pressure monitoring and routine medical checkups.
Dialysis Management
Our Empower Renal program includes transportation to offsite dialysis centers so your loved one doesn’t have to coordinate scheduling. We maintain close communication with dialysis center staff to track your loved one’s condition and stay abreast of treatment changes. Our renal services include pre- and post-dialysis to watch for signs of complications.
Medication Management
Kidney disease affects how medications are metabolized in the body. Medication management is a crucial component of renal care to ensure your loved one receives proper dosages and safe treatment. We review your loved one’s medications to verify there are no nephrotoxic drugs or prescriptions that could cause adverse interactions.
Nutritional Support and Diet Planning
A well-balanced diet ensures your loved one receives enough electrolytes to reduce kidney strain. There are also certain nutrients your loved one needs to avoid while undergoing dialysis. Our skilled dietitians and nutritionists can create personalized meal plans that limit potassium, phosphorus and sodium intake. Nutrition services can also reduce the risk of weight loss and malnutrition.
Fluid Management
Monitoring fluid intake is essential if your loved one receives dialysis. Our dedicated staff can track fluid consumption to reduce the risk of fluid retention. They can also add diuretics to your loved one’s medication regimen to manage swelling and shortness of breath. While fluid intake must be monitored, we also watch for signs of dehydration to prevent associated complications.
Anemia Management
Anemia is common with kidney disease. Our Empower Renal program includes strategies to address the effects of a reduction in red blood cell production. We can address anemia through nutritional management by including iron-rich foods in your loved one’s diet. Oral and supplements can be added to your loved one’s medication schedule.
