Art of Living CRCF

Is Art of Living CRCF a licensed assisted living facility in Columbia, SC?

The state's record lists Art of Living CRCF under license CRC-2269 with 40 beds and an expiration of June 30, 2027, larger than the Midlands midpoint of 39 beds per senior CRCF.

The term shown ends June 30, 2027, after which the operator must renew. Because the fee is charged per licensed bed, operators have no reason to overstate the number; it is the cap on how many residents may live here.

Sorted by license number, CRC-2269 falls at position 49 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Is there a memory care wing at Art of Living CRCF?

DPH's record for Art of Living CRCF has no Alzheimer's special care unit flag, so it has no secured dementia area; someone who begins to wander would usually need to move to a facility that has one.

A diagnosis of mild dementia is not by itself a reason to refuse admission; what matters is whether the person is safe and whether staff can meet the need. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Brookdale Harbison (0.7 mi), Harbison Shores (2.4 mi), Generations of Irmo (2.6 mi).

Was Art of Living CRCF fined by South Carolina?

No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Art of Living CRCF.

Keep that in proportion. Penalty orders are the exception; most problems DPH finds on a visit are closed out with a plan of correction that never appears in the monthly report.

How do I get the latest state inspection of Art of Living CRCF?

Ask Art of Living CRCF for its copy, or request one from DPH in writing; Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84 makes the reports public even though the state posts no CRCF inspection data online.

Complaint investigations produce reports too, available on the same terms. When you ask for the newest one, ask whether it was a routine visit or a complaint.

What should we ask Art of Living CRCF before signing?

Use the public record as your checklist: ask for the most recent DPH inspection report, the deficiencies it cited and the signed plan of correction.

• Ask for a sample week of staff schedules: the legal floor for 40 residents is 5 staff at peak and 2 at night.
• Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's savings are gone, and whether OSS residents are accepted.
• Take the admission agreement home; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' written notice before a fee change.
• The licensee's home state is GA; ask who runs the building locally and who answers above the administrator.
