ABSTRACT
The need for nursing home placement of dialysis patients continues to escalate. Creative solutions are necessary to insure placement availability and optimal care of residents on dialysis once admitted. Communication between the nursing home and dialysis unit staff is key to reducing barriers to placement. The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is currently intervening through the Nursing Home Manual to enhance training and communication.
