Pinedale Residential Center

Is Pinedale Residential Center a licensed assisted living facility in Camden, SC?

Yes. Pinedale Residential Center holds an active DPH license as a CRCF with 50 beds, larger than the 39-bed midpoint of the 64 senior-serving CRCFs we track in the six Midlands counties.

Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started March 1, 2026. DPH bills the operator $10 for every licensed bed (never less than $75), so the bed figure above doubles as the building's paid-for capacity.

Sorted by license number, CRC-0460 falls at position 8 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 Pinedale Residential Center?

DPH's record for Pinedale Residential Center 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 Calveria Living at Camden (3.5 mi), Blake at Woodcreek Farms (19.1 mi), Vitality Living Columbia (21.9 mi).
