Monroe Rehabilitation Center sits at 1212 Sunset Drive East in Monroe, North Carolina, and has 147 certified skilled nursing beds, offering short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, and some folks stay here after a hospital visit, sometimes needing regular help, though they also welcome those who want just a few weeks to get back on their feet. Staff give physical, occupational, and speech therapy up to seven days a week, which helps people recover from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses, and the place includes a rehabilitation gym and private suites with courtyard access, and they keep things comfortable with a friendly atmosphere, bigger rooms, and views that help folks feel at home while they heal or settle in for the long term. They run various programs, including a Post COVID-19 Recovery Program and have specialty clinical programs and therapy equipment, they even bring in portable telemedicine so residents can get seen by doctors without having to leave their beds, and there's an activities program plus complimentary transportation for medical appointments. Governance-wise, Southern Healthcare Management LLC's been at the helm since 2014, and they're affiliated with Sovereign Healthcare Holdings as well as the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, and there's always a dedicated administrator handling admissions, since the place admits new residents every day of the week, running 24/7.
Monroe Rehabilitation Center puts a lot of focus on keeping accident hazards low and supervising residents properly, and while they work to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation, inspection reports have pointed out problems, including a recent fine of $11,700 after a state inspection found eight deficiencies and another report in April 2025 noted issues with quality of life and supervision, so they've had 28 deficiencies in total across inspection reports, with two related to infection control. Reported nurse turnover is on the high side, currently at 52.7%, and daily nurse staffing averages 3.61 hours per resident, which is a bit lower than the North Carolina average of 3.8 hours. The goal here is to help residents feel secure while focusing on recovery, and staff say they work hard at safety, providing as much therapy and supervision as possible.
