Home Dialysis Care Giver
We are seeking an experienced and dependable dialysis-trained professional to support an elderly gentleman who completes his dialysis treatments in his private home. This is not a facility or multi-location role. You will be the primary support person for one patient, four days a week, helping him maintain safety, comfort, and stability during each treatment. The patient uses the NxStage home hemodialysis machine, and we are looking for someone who is already familiar with dialysis equipment, cannulation, and treatment protocols or someone with strong dialysis experience who is confident transitioning into the home-care environment.
Key responsibilities include setting up, operating, and monitoring the NxStage home dialysis system during each treatment session, ensuring adherence to dialysis protocols, sterile technique, and infection-prevention standards, observing and documenting vital signs and treatment responses, troubleshooting machine issues and escalating clinical concerns appropriately, maintaining a clean, organized treatment area within the home, and providing calm, compassionate support and companionship during treatment.
We are looking for someone with experience with home hemodialysis or in-center hemodialysis (NxStage strongly preferred), competence in cannulation and dialysis machine operation, reliability, professionalism, and strong attention to detail, ability to work independently in a private home, and a calm, supportive presence patient is elderly and values consistency.
