Fostering the right solutions & connections

St. Monica Center is a 180 bed skilled nursing facility located in the heart of South Philadelphia. It was the realization of a long-held dream of former Pastor of St. Monica Parish, Monsignor Aloysius Farrell and his aunt, Mary Townsend, when they set aside funds for the purpose of providing a Catholic nursing residence in South Philadelphia. Today St. Monica Center provides long-term care and short-term rehabilitation for the elderly in a caring, supportive, neighborly environment. The interdisciplinary team of nurses, Social Workers and rehabilitation experts as well as others are all dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each resident.
