Mary's Residential #2

How big is Mary's Residential #2, and is its license current?

Yes. Mary's Residential #2 holds an active DPH license as a CRCF with 5 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 September 1, 2026. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.

Sorted by license number, CRC-1534 falls at position 28 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

What happens at Mary's Residential #2 if a resident's memory declines?

DPH's record for Mary's Residential #2 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 Palmettos of Parklane (2.7 mi), Merrill Gardens at Columbia (5.1 mi), Harmony Collection at Columbia (AL/MC) (5.8 mi).

Does Mary's Residential #2 have any state penalties on record?

No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Mary's Residential #2.

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 Mary's Residential #2's DPH inspection reports?

They are public, though not online. Under Regulation 60-84 Section 202.E, DPH releases inspection and complaint investigation reports for a CRCF such as Mary's Residential #2, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.

Ask Mary's Residential #2 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.

If Mary's Residential #2 has no opening, where else should we look?

The nearest other senior CRCF is Flanagan Community Care Home in Columbia, about 0.2 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 9 beds and not flagged for an Alzheimer's special care unit.

Where is Mary's Residential #2, and how close are the hospitals?

What does Mary's Residential #2's record suggest asking on a tour?

Begin with what the state's own record suggests: 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 5-bed building is 1, and 1 at peak hours.
• 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.
