Eugenia's Residential Care Facility

What does the DPH license show for Eugenia's Residential Care Facility in Columbia?

The state's record lists Eugenia's Residential Care Facility under license CRC-0538 with 23 beds and an expiration of August 31, 2027, smaller than the Midlands midpoint of 39 beds per senior CRCF.

Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started September 1, 2026. DPH bills the operator $10 for every licensed bed (never less than $75), so the bed figure above doubles as the building's paid-for capacity.

Sorted by license number, CRC-0538 falls at position 9 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

What happens at Eugenia's Residential Care Facility if a resident's memory declines?

DPH's record for Eugenia's Residential Care Facility 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.

Plenty of residents with early memory loss do well in an open building; the turning point is usually leaving the building unnoticed or behavior staff cannot redirect. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Palmettos of Parklane (6.4 mi), Brookdale Harbison (6.5 mi), Harbison Shores (7.5 mi).

Does Eugenia's Residential Care Facility have any state penalties on record?

We found no administrative or consent order for Eugenia's Residential Care Facility in DPH's monthly enforcement reports covering January 2025 to September 2026.

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.

Where can I read Eugenia's Residential Care Facility's DPH inspection reports?

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.

What should we ask Eugenia's Residential Care Facility before signing?

Begin with what the state's own record suggests: ask the date of the last DPH visit and whether you can read the report and the facility's response.

• Ask how many workers are awake on the overnight shift; the minimum for a full 23-bed building is 1, and 3 at peak hours.
• Ask whether Eugenia's Residential Care Facility accepts Optional State Supplementation (OSS) or Community Choices Residential Personal Care if savings run out.
• Take the admission agreement home; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' written notice before a fee change.
