No. Medicare's records show no home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis training here. Other clinics nearby may offer it, and training does not usually mean leaving your current clinic permanently.
Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.
24 stations, meaning up to 24 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.
Yes. Medicare places this clinic in the bottom 12% of US clinics. That is a position in a national distribution, not a score it passed or failed — most clinics sit in the middle band by design.
It is a for-profit facility operated by DaVita, Medicare-certified since 2001.
By calling. Chair availability, insurance acceptance and wait times are not published by Medicare, or by anyone else, for any clinic in the country. That is why the phone number is at the top of this page.
Every measure Medicare publishes about a dialysis facility, grouped in Medicare's nine categories and numbered for citation. Nothing here is selected. Where this clinic has no figure, the cell carries a dash and Medicare's code, and the codes are explained below the table.

These two do not add up to 100%. Some patients use a graft or another form of access. Access type depends on a patient's own veins, whether earlier attempts held, how soon surgery was available, and what the patient chose.
This facility is one of 356 California clinics rated better than expected. The state has 589.
A ratio below 1 means fewer infections than Medicare expected for this clinic's patients. The published range is wide enough here to include the national expectation, which is why Medicare rates it as expected.
This facility is one of 37 California clinics rated worse than expected. The state has 577. Based on 37 patients.
This facility is one of 575 California clinics rated as expected. The state has 726. Based on 73 patients.
Listing depends on a patient's own health, what the regional transplant centre requires, and the patient's own choice — not on the clinic alone.
This facility is one of 672 California clinics rated as expected. The state has 701. Based on 48 discharges.
This facility is one of 660 California clinics rated as expected. The state has 691. Based on 37 discharges.

This facility is one of 640 California clinics rated as expected. The state has 690. Based on 29 patients.

This facility is one of 581 California clinics rated as expected. The state has 605. Based on 25 patients.
