Villages of Lake Highlands Post-Acute Care and Senior Living Center in Dallas/Fort Worth Partners with Rendevor Dialysis for On-site Care

Austin, TX – Dec 19, 2024 – The Villages of Lake Highlands, premier provider of senior services including rehabilitation, therapy, transitional and skilled care, has partnered with Rendevor Dialysis to deliver on-site dialysis treatments at their Dallas/Fort Worth location. The decision reflects the Villages’ dedication to providing exceptional clinical care in an elegant residential atmosphere. The new dialysis den also expands the portfolio of care available for residents.

The Villages of Lake Highlands brings dedicated medical professionals and compassionate care givers into a comfortable, home-based setting. Access to these services in the residents’ home setting eliminates inconveniences and logistics of offsite travel, provides a more intimate and soothing care environment, and enhances health outcomes through gentler therapies.

“We’re honored to partner with a prestigious organization like the Villages of Lake Highlands. Their best-in-class reputation and impressive service offering make them an ideal partner for Rendevor to enter the Dallas/Fort Worth market. Furthermore, their impressive breadth of services aligns with our goal of expanding access to care to traditionally underserviced patient populations,” said Jason Combs, Rendevor CEO.

The Villages of Lake Highlands, a locally owned community in Dallas, TX, provides a broad spectrum of healthcare services, including rehabilitation, therapy, transitional and skilled care, memory care, etc. for residents experiencing chronic medical conditions or those recently discharged from a hospital. The goal of skilled care is to effectively manage complex medical conditions, providing residents the highest quality of life – in a home environment – specifically designed to make resident stays more comfortable and family visits more enjoyable.

Developing clinical programs that enhance their residents’ experience is a key success measure for the Villages of Lake Highlands, said Kelly Wolfe, CEO. That’s what drove the Villages’ leadership and clinical teams to invest in a home-based dialysis center.

“Identifying community needs is part of our mission. This model has been successful in enhancing the comfort and quality of life for the residents we serve by reducing time spent in transit to community dialysis appointments, reduced return to acute care, helping minimize ED visits, and an overall lower length of stay in a skilled nursing setting. This translates to more time working on physical and occupational therapy than traveling, achieving a prior level of function or recovery faster,  and most importantly, a better experience for ESRD residents who deserve the quality of care Villages of Like Highlands and Rendevor are able to provide,” Wolfe said.

This Rendevor Dialysis Program includes a six-chair dialysis den with capacity to provide treatments as frequently as five days a week for up to 12 patients. Rendevor will provide a full complement of clinical and technical staff, along with all equipment and supplies needed to furnish best-in-class dialysis therapies. Rendevor also strives to provide gentler, more frequent, and shorter therapies that improve quality of life and have been proven to enhance clinical outcomes.
