Yes. This clinic trains patients for home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Training is a series of visits rather than a permanent move, and your nephrologist has to agree it suits you.
Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.
30 stations, meaning up to 30 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 34% 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 Fresenius Medical Care, Medicare-certified since 1987.
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.

Based on 174 patients.
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.
Medicare surveys patients at this clinic directly.
This facility is one of 43 Puerto Rico clinics rated better than expected. The state has 47.
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 Puerto Rico clinics rated as expected. The state has 42. Based on 56 patients.
This facility is one of 50 Puerto Rico clinics rated as expected. The state has 50. Based on 133 patients.

This facility is one of 38 Puerto Rico clinics rated as expected. The state has 49. Based on 146 discharges.
This facility is one of 42 Puerto Rico clinics rated as expected. The state has 43. Based on 24 discharges.
