Peak Resources - Gastonia

Let me start by saying SOME of the staff there are very nice, friendly and helpful, others act like they are doing you a favor to check on you. As for everything else, absolutely horrible. Do not put your loved one in this facility. My Dad was admitted on a Friday and he had just had a liver biopsy in the hospital for which we were waiting for the results. His primary got the results, it is stage 4 kidney cancer and his primary called an oncologist for a consultation appointment for the following Tuesday. This facility told me they would not transport him, that he is under their physician's care now and they don't go by the previous primary care physician's orders. Their physician makes an appearance every Wednesday and he would see my Dad then and determine the next steps. I was livid! You don't just cancel an appointment with an oncologist when you have a serious life threatening diagnosis but that is exactly what we had to do. Now someone who has never seen my Dad will have to determine of his own accord what my Dad needs and may or may not say he should see an oncologist. Even if he does determine that, a nurse told my mother it could take a month or more to get an oncologist appointment. Please do not use this facility or you can say good-bye to any doctor you have been seeing throughout your life. That relationship will be severed. They have over 100 patients in this place so for a doctor to visit the facility one day a week, you cannot get quality care and attention. I will be pulling my Dad out of here because I will not let him lay here and die. And, if that is not enough for you to avoid this place like the bubonic plague, it sits next to a noisy railroad track so you get blasting train horns all day and night. And the whole ambiance is drab and depressing.
