UltraCare at home™ Staff Assist Program

The Best of Both Worlds:
In-Center Care at Home

The UltraCare at home™ Staff Assist Program is designed to provide patients with the option to have home hemodialysis treatments administered by Fresenius Medical Care skilled caregivers during regularly scheduled visits.

Fresenius specialists will work with the patient’s private insurance provider to qualify eligibility for this program. Private pay arrangements are also an option.

Fresenius Staff Assist caregivers are licensed nurses or patient care technicians who receive comprehensive training to deliver hemodialysis in the home setting. You can be assured that your patients are receiving treatments delivered with the same high standard of quality as provided within Fresenius dialysis facilities.
