Peak Resources Cherryville sits in Cherryville, North Carolina and offers several kinds of care for seniors, so you'll find skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and independent living all in one spot, and they give each service its own name and focus, like their memory care section that's just for people with Alzheimer's and dementia and their special therapy and rehab programs for those recovering from illness or surgery. The place holds 54 skilled nursing beds, 57 assisted living beds, and 24 beds made just for memory care, with 24-hour skilled nursing by trained nurses and care from teams who know each resident's needs, and it's also Medicare-certified, which helps people with complex health issues or who are coming back from the hospital. There's always medical help for things like wound care, pain management, enteral feedings, IV therapy, and lab work, and they even have in-house dentistry, psychiatry, podiatry, and other services like pharmacy and respiratory care, so residents don't always have to go out for appointments. The staff includes nurses and therapists who work on rehab and recovery, so residents can get physical therapy, occupational therapy with equipment training, and speech therapy for help with swallowing or speaking.
The community tries to make things comfortable, so there's a beauty salon, barber shop, private and public dining rooms, a TV lounge, and fireplaces in the living areas, and most rooms offer private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephone service, plus there are courtyards with rocking chairs and outdoor gardens when people want some fresh air. You'll find a chef making meals with attention to special diets, whether that's no-salt, no-sugar, kosher, or just regular home-style cooking, and guests can dine with residents if they like, plus there are private dining spaces for special occasions. Staff help with household needs like cleaning, laundry, and bathing or medication if a resident wants it, and there's support for aging in place so people can stay longer as their needs change.

To keep life enjoyable, the team puts on daily activities, both onsite and offsite, so people can join social, educational, or religious events, or just enjoy the TV lounge, computer room, or courtyard. They offer devotional services in-house and offsite, with a visiting chaplain for those who want spiritual support, and families are welcome to join events and eat with their loved ones. Residents have access to transportation-sometimes complimentary, sometimes for a fee-and there's onsite parking for both residents and visitors, plus high-speed internet so people can video chat or check email when they want. Respite care is available for families who need a break, along with hospice care if a resident needs comfort in their final days, and long-term care services for those planning to stay for a while. Care planning is personal, and staff work with families to make sure treatment, activities, and meals fit each resident's wishes and needs. Admin Johnny Poovey leads the facility, and it holds membership with the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association. Overall, the facility runs a blend of rehab, assisted living, skilled nursing, and dedicated memory care, focusing on comfort, daily help, and helping folks enjoy life as much as they can in a safe place.
