Abstract: More and more nursing homes are admitting residents receiving dialysis. In 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services released guidance addressing the qualifications of those caring for these residents and further clarified the survey process. The American Nephrology Nurses Association Board of Directors created the Home Dialysis for Nursing Home Residents Task Force to review the revised guidance, investigate strategies and opportunities for nephrology registered nurses in home dialysis therapy in this setting, and consider the potential implications related to alternative home dialysis settings. This article discusses their process, findings, and outcomes.
