Brickyard Healthcare Launches In-Center Dialysis at Elkhart Care Center, Bringing Rare On-Site Treatment to Northern Indiana

Elkhart, IN — Brickyard Healthcare is proud to announce the official launch of its in-care center dialysis unit at the Elkhart Care Center, one of the few skilled nursing facilities in Indiana offering this level of specialized, on-site care. The new dialysis service, which began seeing patients in early July 2025, is made possible through a strategic partnership with Dialyze Direct, one of the most premier home dialysis providers in the United States.
By eliminating the need for off-site transportation and hours-long treatment schedules, the in-facility dialysis unit drastically improves the patient experience. This advanced care model delivers significant clinical outcomes, including:
• 65% reduction in dialysis-related rehospitalizations
• 94% reduction in vascular infections
• Recovery time reduced from a full day to just one hour
“Our Elkhart Care Center is now equipped to provide a smoother, more comfortable, and efficient dialysis experience,” said Chad Knisley, Executive Director at Brickyard Healthcare - Elkhart. “The recovery time has dropped to one hour, or sometimes zero.”
The on-site dialysis unit is supported by specially trained nurses and staff, personalized treatment plans, and Dialyze Direct’s proprietary DialyzeIntelligence technology, ensuring real-time data accuracy for optimal outcomes. The program also includes emotional and dietary support services to treat the whole patient.
This rare offering sets a new standard in post-acute and skilled nursing care throughout Indiana.
