Licensing complaints go to DPH Healthcare Quality at 1-800-922-6735; suspected abuse or neglect of an adult living at home goes to DSS Adult Protective Services at 1-888-227-3487. SCDHHS lists no PACE organization for Kershaw County, so Community Choices is the main way to get Medicaid-funded help at home.
