Mary RCF #3

What does the DPH license show for Mary RCF #3 in Blythewood?

The state's record lists Mary RCF #3 under license CRC-2282 with 10 beds and an expiration of December 31, 2026, smaller than the Midlands midpoint of 39 beds per senior CRCF.

The term shown ends December 31, 2026, after which the operator must renew. Because the fee is charged per licensed bed, operators have no reason to overstate the number; it is the cap on how many residents may live here.

Sorted by license number, CRC-2282 falls at position 52 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Is there a memory care wing at Mary RCF #3?

DPH's record for Mary RCF #3 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 Harmony Collection at Columbia (AL/MC) (2.2 mi), Vitality Living Columbia (2.7 mi).

Was Mary RCF #3 fined by South Carolina?

No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Mary RCF #3.

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.
