One of my husband's childhood friends work's for a dialysis company and sent me this link -- http://www.medicare.gov/Dialysis/include/DataSection/Questions/SearchCriteria.asp?dest=NAV|Home|Search|SearchCriteria#TabTop I found it very helpful. It lets you select dialysis centers to compare, then compares features side by side. This is the introduction on the first page:

Welcome to Dialysis Facility Compare
This website provides important information and resources for patients and family members who want to learn more about chronic kidney disease and dialysis.

Look at the information on Dialysis Facility Compare carefully. Use it with other information as you compare facilities and decide where to get dialysis.

Just had to point out the last word in the subject line. I do PD at home, but I kinda feel like hemo at a center would be aptly called a "coma prison".  >:D
