TOMS RIVER, N.J, Jan. 31, 2024- Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Toms River is pleased to announce the addition of onsite hemodialysis services, provided by our highly skilled and dedicated staff. This new offering allows the hospital to provide comprehensive care to dialysis patients, ensuring their safety, comfort, and improved clinical outcomes.

The hospital understands the importance of closely monitoring dialysis patients to reduce the risk of complications. Onsite hemodialysis provides the opportunity for immediate attention and intervention, ensuring the highest level of care for patients. One of the key benefits of the onsite hemodialysis program is the ability to schedule treatments during the day, allowing patients adequate time for rest and recovery. This approach not only enhances patient comfort but also promotes better treatment adherence and overall well-being. To further enhance the patient experience, the hospital has invested in innovative technology designed for patient comfort and convenience. The state-of-the-art hemodialysis machines provide a gentler treatment experience, making it easier for patients to participate in therapy.

"We are thrilled to now offer onsite hemodialysis as part of our commitment to providing exceptional care to our patients," said Alisha Hartunian, CEO of Encompass Health of Toms River. "Through the extension of in-house services, we are able to cater to the needs of patients in the Toms River community on a greater scale.”

The specialized hospital provides inpatient rehabilitation services and higher medical management for patients recovering from stroke and other neurological disorders, hip fractures, brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and complex orthopedic conditions.

Patients receive a minimum of three hours per day of therapy for five days each week, 24-hour nursing care, access to advanced technologies and frequent visits by a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician during their stay. The freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital includes all private patient rooms, a spacious therapy gym, an in-house pharmacy, courtyard, dining room and dayroom areas.
