Columbia Senior AdvisorWhich Columbia-area facilities have memory care units?
30 licensed buildings in the six Midlands counties carry an Alzheimer's flag in DPH's data: 26 community residential care facilities (19 flagged for a secured special care unit) and 4 nursing homes.
| County | Buildings flagged | With a secured unit |
|---|---|---|
| Richland County | 16 | 11 |
| Lexington County | 11 | 9 |
| Kershaw County | 1 | 1 |
| Fairfield County | 1 | 1 |
| Saluda County | 1 | 0 |
Why build a memory care list from DPH's flags?
Because South Carolina has no memory care license, the Alzheimer's special care unit flag on a DPH record is the official sign that a secured dementia program exists, while marketing language by itself carries no legal meaning.
“Unit + care” means DPH records both a secured unit and Alzheimer's care; “Care only” means the facility reports serving residents with Alzheimer's without a separate secured area. DPH does not publish how many beds each unit holds, so ask. See South Carolina's memory care rules.
