Walks are measured on the map from each place to stay to the center's address (straight line plus a quarter, at about 3 miles an hour). Where the walk is over 20 minutes we show a driving estimate (straight line plus a third, at an in-town average speed, plus 2 minutes to park): traffic changes it, so check the route at your shift time.

Ask your home dialysis unit first: its social worker or travel coordinator usually sends the request and your records to the visiting center. Call the center to confirm the days and shift time. Our guest dialysis guide has the steps.
Medicare's listing doesn't show a shift starting at 5 p.m. or later. Ask the center which shifts have room for guests.
Dialysis centers: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dialysis Facility listing, release of 2026-10-28. Neither CMS, Medicare nor any dialysis company runs, funds or approves this site. Call the center to confirm its details. We don't rate dialysis centers or their care. For Medicare's own quality information, see Medicare Care Compare.
