Palmettos of Parklane

How big is Palmettos of Parklane, and is its license current?

Palmettos of Parklane appears on DPH's active list of community residential care facilities, license CRC-1513, sized at 85 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 May 1, 2026. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.

Sorted by license number, CRC-1513 falls at position 27 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Does Palmettos of Parklane offer secured memory care?

Yes. DPH's record for Palmettos of Parklane 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 Palmettos of Parklane?

Not in the period we checked: Palmettos of Parklane is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report from 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.

Where can I read Palmettos of Parklane'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 Palmettos of Parklane, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.

DPH has no fixed inspection schedule for CRCFs, so ask when the last visit happened, what was cited, and to see the plan of correction the administrator signed.

Which questions matter most at Palmettos of Parklane?

Use the public record as your checklist: request the newest inspection or complaint report from DPH and the correction plan that followed it.

• With 85 beds full, Regulation 60-84 requires at least 11 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.
