The Nepi Nursing Home Dialysis Center. was established in 1998 as a hemodialysis center subordinate to the Dialysis Service of the “Belcolle” Hospital in Viterbo as a Decentralized Dialysis Unit for the Elderly (U.D.D.A.) and maintained that status until January 2018, when, with the regulatory reorganization introduced by the Lazio Region, it was credited as Private Ambulatory Dialysis Center Affiliated with the Regional Health System.
It is equipped with a total of three dialysis rooms (including a so-called “contumacious” room with 2 stations for patients who are positive for HBsAg or have special clinical needs) and has a total of 10 places.
All dialysis stations feature state-of-the-art dialysis monitors adapted to the latest clinical and care standards, enabling the delivery of highly biocompatible hemodialysis treatments.
So-called “standard” hemodialysis (bicarbonate hemodialysis) and hemodiafiltration treatments are provided, all practiced with the use of highly biocompatible dialysis membranes.
The Nepi Nursing Home Center also offers hemodialysis sessions to inpatients in residential care at all OUs. operational of the Facility.
