Monarch announces an expansion of long-term services in Cabarrus, Rowan and Gaston counties. On Sept. 1, the Albemarle-based organization began managing services formerly provided by the Community Living Concepts of North Carolina.

The supervised living and community network services acquired in this transition include homes occupied by 19 residents with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). The group homes will keep the existing names and simply add Monarch to the moniker. Monarch’s leadership team also is working to ensure that people who receive services will not experience a disruption of those services. 

“We are excited to welcome Community Living Concepts’ staff and residents to the Monarch family,” said Dr. Peggy Terhune, Monarch’s President and CEO. “We are diligently working to ensure this transition is as seamless as possible for all involved.”

Monarch provides services and supports statewide to thousands of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness and substance use disorders. In Cabarrus, Rowan, and Gaston counties, Monarch adds these homes to an array of existing services that includes Supported Employment, Peer Support, Intensive In-Home and Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) services and an outpatient office in Gastonia. For a complete list of services provided by county, visit www.MonarchNC.org.
