Rockhaven Community Care Home

Is Rockhaven Community Care Home a licensed assisted living facility in Columbia, SC?

Rockhaven Community Care Home appears on DPH's active list of community residential care facilities, license CRC-0800, sized at 10 beds against a Columbia-area midpoint of 39.

Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started February 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-0800 falls at position 12 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.

Can Rockhaven Community Care Home care for someone with dementia?

DPH's record for Rockhaven Community Care Home 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.

A diagnosis of mild dementia is not by itself a reason to refuse admission; what matters is whether the person is safe and whether staff can meet the need. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Harmony Collection at Columbia (AL/MC) (2.2 mi), Palmettos of Parklane (2.2 mi).

Was Rockhaven Community Care Home fined by South Carolina?

We found no administrative or consent order for Rockhaven Community Care Home in DPH's monthly enforcement reports covering January 2025 to September 2026.

Routine deficiencies are handled with a written correction plan rather than an order, so the inspection report is still the document to read.

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.

What should we ask Rockhaven Community Care Home 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 10 beds full, Regulation 60-84 requires at least 2 staff on duty at peak times and 1 overnight; ask what the real numbers are.
• 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.
