Giving Dignity and Support

What does the DPH license show for Giving Dignity and Support in Eastover?

Yes. Giving Dignity and Support holds an active DPH license as a CRCF with 10 beds, smaller than the 39-bed midpoint of the 64 senior-serving CRCFs we track in the six Midlands counties.

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

Sorted by license number, CRC-2337 falls at position 54 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Can Giving Dignity and Support care for someone with dementia?

DPH's record for Giving Dignity and Support 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 Wildewood Downs Assisted Living Community (18.2 mi), Blake at Woodcreek Farms (18.4 mi), Mill Creek Manor (18.6 mi).

Does Giving Dignity and Support have any state penalties on record?

We found no administrative or consent order for Giving Dignity and Support 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.

Are inspection results for Giving Dignity and Support public?

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.

Ask Giving Dignity and Support directly for the date of its latest DPH visit. If deficiencies were cited, a plan of correction exists and you can ask to read it alongside the report.
