Monarch Long-Term Group Homes
Monarch long-term group homes are designed to foster independence and encourage growth. Monarch’s direct support professionals work with residents to maximize their potential in all areas of life. Whether it is direction on how to make pancakes or how to dress on a cold day, we are there to help every day, all day and night. Our residents learn to care for their own home, help with household chores and build relationships at home and in the community. Monarch staff help residents find jobs, manage their money, take classes, volunteer, get out to a movie or go shopping. We provide living arrangements for individuals with developmental disabilities, mental illness or both. If they have the desire to live on their own, we do everything we can to make that dream happen.
If you would like information on our residential services, please reach out to our Referral Coordinator at (704) 986-1879 or referrals@monarchnc.org with questions or click here for an application.
