Salute to our Employees and a Farewell to our Patients
Although this special care nursing home closed on August 25, 2010, its accomplishments and ground breaking outcomes are its legacy. We wish our nearly 400 patients for whom we cared over the past four
years farewell. Most importantly, we are grateful to our staff for their dedication and tireless efforts.

The Residence for Renal Care (RRC) at Shadyside, Ltd., was the first nursing home in the nation that integrated both dialysis care and nursing home care into a 24/7
disease management continuum. The intimate 64-bed facility was located in the Shadyside section of Pittsburgh, PA, only minutes from the city’s major hospitals and physician’s groups. The RRC was a nursing home
specializing in hemodialysis treatments where the technology came to the patient at their bedside.
- The Residence for Renal Care at Shadyside, Ltd., was a privately owned and operated full service skilled nursing facility, where patients who required hemodialysis and who
might also be dependent on life-supporting mechanical ventilators, could receive their dialysis treatments in the comfort of their own bedrooms.
- In the 4 years it was in operation, the Residence for Renal Care at Shadyside admitted nearly 400 residents, most having been referred from local and regional hospitals but
some from as far away as Philadelphia and Chicago. During its operation, the facility received a Four–Star Medicare rating, an exceptional accomplishment for a staff challenged with caring for a patient population characterized
as being among the “sickest of the sick” in PA. The exemplary staff was experienced in providing loving care to residents who required skilled and long-term care as well as short-term rehabilitation. They are to be
commended for their devotion and support.
The facility’s motto was:
