Gates Health and Rehabilitation Center

Gates Health and Rehabilitation Center, located at 38 Carters Road in Gatesville, North Carolina, serves as the premier skilled nursing and rehabilitation resource for Gates County and the surrounding communities of northeastern North Carolina. Managed by August Healthcare, a respected operator of rural and community-based senior care facilities, the center provides essential long-term and post-acute care services to a region where access to quality healthcare is both deeply valued and critically important. As the county seat of Gates County, Gatesville is a small, close-knit community that embodies the quiet strength of rural northeastern North Carolina.

Gatesville's natural surroundings are among its most compelling features. Merchants Millpond State Park, a short drive from the facility, is a nationally recognized natural treasure—its ancient cypress-gum swamp and dark, mirror-still millpond offer canoe trails, wildlife observation, and peaceful natural beauty that visiting families consistently find restorative. The Meherrin and Chowan Rivers wind through Gates County, lending the region a timeless, pastoral character ideal for those who appreciate a slower pace of life away from urban centers.
