MEDIA, Pa., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reliant Renal Care, Inc. (RRC) announces the opening of the RRC-Lapeer Home Choice^TM Training Center at 582 S. Main Street, Lapeer MI. Our state of the art, all-inclusive home dialysis training center is now admitting patients after passing all regulatory requirements without deficiencies. The Center is focused on the unique needs of patients who choose to perform their dialysis treatments in the comfort of their home. The open-access facility offers peritoneal and hemodialysis training programs with two PD stations and three HHD (one Isolation). Home hemodialysis patients have the added convenience of respite treatments.

Reliant Renal Care is a company on a mission to provide dialysis patients a choice of treatments for dialysis. The treatment option selected by a patient is one of the most central decisions to how a patient elects to live day to day with renal disease. Reliant operates centers in 6 states (PA, MI, TX, LA, AL, GA) and provides conventional hemodialysis in-center, acute care, home HHD and PD training, and has recently expanded services to include staff assisted home hemodialysis within skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities. Reliant Renal Care is the Right Choice for high quality, compassionate Dialysis services.

Building on the partnership with Nephrologists, Dr. Ali Owda and Dr. Nabil Zaki, RRC is proud to open a center dedicated to home dialysis training. Nola McMullen RN, Chief Operating Officer at RRC commented on the opening of the Lapeer program, saying, 'The home training center is complete with modern technologies set in beautiful home like surroundings. The center offers chronic kidney disease patients the choice to receive individualized training to perform their dialysis therapy in the comfort of their own home. We have highly trained and experienced staff dedicated to providing exceptional care to patients in the community.'

For the right patient, Home Dialysis (CCPD/CAPD or Hemo) is a significantly better therapy. RRC's Home Choice^TM Training provides education and support for those individuals who want to take control of their dialysis needs. Home dialysis is a more frequent regiment, rather than the limited – three treatments per week – in-center schedule. Many studies have shown more frequent dialysis treatments offer patients better clinical outcomes and an increase in their quality of life. Patients dialyze on their own schedule, regaining time and freedom in their day that is not allowable by the in-center schedule.
