Rouse Community Care Home #2

How big is Rouse Community Care Home #2, and is its license current?

The state's record lists Rouse Community Care Home #2 under license CRC-0328 with 9 beds and an expiration of December 31, 2026, smaller than the Midlands midpoint of 39 beds per senior CRCF.

Licenses are issued to one legal operator at one street address for one year at a time; the current year began January 1, 2026. If the building changes hands, the new owner needs a new license and the number changes.

Sorted by license number, CRC-0328 falls at position 6 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 Rouse Community Care Home #2?

DPH's record for Rouse Community Care Home #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 (2.5 mi), Harmony Collection at Columbia (AL/MC) (4.2 mi).

Was Rouse Community Care Home #2 fined by South Carolina?

No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Rouse Community Care Home #2.

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

What does Rouse Community Care Home #2's record suggest asking on a tour?

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 9 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.
• Take the admission agreement home; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' written notice before a fee change.
