New Dialysis Center Opens in West Chester

WEST CHESTER - Brandywine Hall, a 180-bed skilled nursing facility affiliated with Genesis HealthCare, opened an onsite Dialysis Center to provide kidney care for patients.

In partnership with Concerto Renal Services, a Medicare certified dialysis provider with a reputation for excellence in renal care, the center will provide comprehensive care to their patients.

The center has six hemodialysis chairs that can operate up to six days weekly and accommodate up to 36 residents requiring dialysis.

Clinicians can also train patients and family for home dialysis.

Benefits of onsite dialysis:

• Dialysis staff can work directly with Brandywine Hall’s full team to promote continuity of care;
• Hours of transportation to off-site clinics are eliminated, allowing the most efficient use of time for rehabilitation and minimizing exposure to inclement weather;
• Patients can enjoy services in a home-like environment, with their own TVs with cable coverage, wireless internet, and a color printer for patients who bring their own laptop computers to treatments; and
• Patients can transition back to local clinics once their inpatient services at Brandywine Hall are completed.

“Brandywine Hall is dedicated to ensuring all patients and residents have access to quality and convenient care,” Andrew Pile, Brandywine administrator, said.
“Through our partnership with Concerto Renal Services, this new dialysis center secures a vital health resource for the Brandywine Hall community and our patients who rely on convenient renal services.”

Shimmy Meystel, Concerto CEO, said Concerto is fortunate to partner with Brandywine Hall to deliver quality care quality.
“At Concerto, we recognize that onsite, quality dialysis services represent the best possible setting when the patient requires both dialysis and inpatient care,” Meystel said.
