Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started April 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-2431 falls at position 64 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Does DPH list an Alzheimer's unit at Lakeside Place Senior Living?

Yes. DPH's record for Lakeside Place Senior Living 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.

Has DPH issued an enforcement order against Lakeside Place Senior Living?

We found no administrative or consent order for Lakeside Place Senior Living 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.

Where can I read Lakeside Place Senior Living'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.

Complaint investigations produce reports too, available on the same terms. When you ask for the newest one, ask whether it was a routine visit or a complaint.

What other assisted living is near Lakeside Place Senior Living?

What does Lakeside Place Senior Living's record suggest asking on a tour?

Let DPH's data shape the visit: request the newest inspection or complaint report from DPH and the correction plan that followed it.

  • With 90 beds full, Regulation 60-84 requires at least 12 staff on duty at peak times and 3 overnight; ask what the real numbers are.
  • 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.
  • Read the admission agreement's fee schedule, refund terms and 30-day notice clause before you sign.
  • The licensee's home state is CA; ask who runs the building locally and who answers above the administrator.
