Lexington Memory Care

What does the DPH license show for Lexington Memory Care in Lexington?

Lexington Memory Care appears on DPH's active list of community residential care facilities, license CRC-2415, sized at 48 beds against a Columbia-area midpoint of 39.

Licenses are issued to one legal operator at one street address for one year at a time; the current year began December 22, 2025. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.

Sorted by license number, CRC-2415 falls at position 63 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 Lexington Memory Care?

Yes. DPH's record for Lexington Memory Care 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.

The state does not require a lower staff-to-resident ratio on a dementia wing. The building-wide minimum (one worker per eight residents at peak times, one per thirty overnight) is all the regulation demands, so ask who is physically inside the locked area after midnight.

South Carolina's rules for these units are summarized on our memory care rules page.

Was Lexington Memory Care fined by South Carolina?

We found no administrative or consent order for Lexington Memory Care 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.

How do I get the latest state inspection of Lexington Memory Care?

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 Lexington Memory Care 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.

What should we ask Lexington Memory Care before signing?

Begin with what the state's own record suggests: ask for the most recent DPH inspection report, the deficiencies it cited and the signed plan of correction.

• With 48 beds full, Regulation 60-84 requires at least 6 staff on duty at peak times and 2 overnight; ask what the real numbers are.
• Ask for the written dementia-care disclosure and the number of beds behind the secured doors.
• Before counting on public help, ask whether OSS or the Community Choices waiver's Residential Personal Care is accepted here.
• Ask which charges rise as care needs rise, and check that the agreement promises 30 days' notice of any increase.
