Staff-assisted home hemodialysis
The core service: one nurse, one patient, the complete treatment, at every visit, under your own nephrologist's orders. If you were told home dialysis requires a helper or weeks of training, that rule does not exist here. The Elik nurse is the helper. Dialysis at home without a care partner in Houston
Home hemodialysis in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities
Elik nurses deliver full treatments inside Houston-area facilities. The resident never leaves the building, and the three weekly transport runs disappear. We coordinate scheduling, space, and supply storage directly with your Director of Nursing. In-facility home hemodialysis
In-center to home dialysis transition
Already dialyzing at a Houston center? Elik confirms your plan, coordinates orders with your nephrologist, and schedules your first home treatment against your center schedule so nothing lapses in between. Home hemodialysis versus in-center dialysis

Your nephrologist stays in charge
Every Elik treatment runs under your own nephrologist's orders and is performed by a licensed, certified dialysis nurse: one nurse, one patient, the entire treatment. Your doctor receives documentation after every visit and directs your care exactly as before. Behind every treatment is a team with more than 80 years of combined experience in dialysis, 45 of them in staff-assisted home hemodialysis. Elik changes where your treatment happens and whose hands perform it, never who your doctor is.
