Does DPH list an Alzheimer's unit at Calveria Living at Camden?
Yes. DPH's record for Calveria Living at Camden 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.
