Can Legacy of Lexington care for someone with dementia?
DPH's record for Legacy of Lexington 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 Wellmore of Lexington (1.8 mi), Lexington Memory Care (2.1 mi), Lakeside Place Senior Living (2.2 mi).
Does Legacy of Lexington have any state penalties on record?
No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Legacy of Lexington.
A clear enforcement history means no recent fines or sanctions. It does not mean no citations, which only show up in the inspection report itself.
Where can I read Legacy of Lexington'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 should we ask Legacy of Lexington before signing?
Use the public record as your checklist: 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 49-bed building is 2, and 7 at peak hours.
- Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's savings are gone, and whether OSS residents are accepted.
- Take the admission agreement home; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' written notice before a fee change.
- The licensee's home state is MA; ask who runs the building locally and who answers above the administrator.
