It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

We never got beyond the inquiry stage, so I was hoping someone here had actual experience of it.
The program pays well & IMO is why we see those Fresinius & Davita dialysis places built past decade.
A dialysis tech is a different thing. This is a service and the company or he/she works for has to acceot Medicare. Same if the tech works for a hospital.
Now Medicaid may pay for a CNA if Dad fits the income requirement. Not sure if they would pay for an RN. Any providers would need to be able to bill Medicaid. And believe me, I find very few that do in my state. Medicaid takes too long to pay providers.
Just curious, what type of dialysis would Dad receive? Would it be
peritoneal dialysis? If so, this is a last ditch effort. My GF had it because her veins could no longer do dialysis from years of juvenile diabetes. Another friend his wife was taught how to do it at home. With both my friends, they passed. Both were tired of it all and chose Hospice. Read up on it.
However plenty of experience with Medicare paid home health that includes RNs, LVNs, CNAs, OT, PT beyond Part A paid after rehab type services that Joann mentions. Just don’t know about a dialysis tech.
Call agencies and ask. I’m thinking the patient would have to be homebound for starters. Otherwise more people would use home service than going to a dialysis facility, I do know my aunt was transported to a dialysis facility from a rehab and it was extremely difficult for her so there has to be some qualifying factor she didn’t reach if such a service were available. Let us know if you find out.
