Is there a memory care wing at Dixon's Community Care Home?
DPH's record for Dixon's Community Care Home 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.
Regulation 60-84 bars a CRCF from keeping a resident whom a physician considers a danger to self or others, and unsafe wandering is the usual reason that line is crossed. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Blake at Woodcreek Farms (6.1 mi), Vitality Living Columbia (7.8 mi).
Does Dixon's Community Care Home have any state penalties on record?
We found no administrative or consent order for Dixon's Community Care Home in DPH's monthly enforcement reports covering January 2025 to September 2026.
Routine deficiencies are handled with a written correction plan rather than an order, so the inspection report is still the document to read.
How do I get the latest state inspection of Dixon's Community Care Home?
Write to DPH Healthcare Quality and ask: South Carolina keeps CRCF inspection reports off the internet, but Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84 makes them, and the facility's response, available to anyone who requests them in writing.
DPH has no fixed inspection schedule for CRCFs, so ask when the last visit happened, what was cited, and to see the plan of correction the administrator signed.
