Blake at Woodcreek Farms

Is Blake at Woodcreek Farms a licensed assisted living facility in Elgin, SC?

The state's record lists Blake at Woodcreek Farms under license CRC-1570 with 100 beds and an expiration of February 28, 2027, larger than the Midlands midpoint of 39 beds per senior CRCF.

Licenses are issued to one legal operator at one street address for one year at a time; the current year began March 1, 2026. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.

Sorted by license number, CRC-1570 falls at position 31 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Is Blake at Woodcreek Farms set up for residents with dementia who wander?

Yes. DPH's record for Blake at Woodcreek Farms carries the Alzheimer's special care unit flag, meaning a secured program for residents with probable Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia that restricts their movement outside a designated area, as Regulation 60-84 Section 101.F describes it.

South Carolina's Alzheimer's Special Care Disclosure Act obliges any facility advertising dementia care to put in writing how its program differs: admission and discharge rules, staff training, staffing pattern, activities and the building itself. Request that document first; it makes the tour far more useful.

South Carolina's rules for these units are summarized on our memory care rules page.

Let DPH's data shape the visit: 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 100 residents is 13 staff at peak and 4 at night.
• Ask for the written dementia-care disclosure and the number of beds behind the secured doors.
• Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's savings are gone, and whether OSS residents are accepted.
• Ask which charges rise as care needs rise, and check that the agreement promises 30 days' notice of any increase.
