Spring Oak Lexington

What does the DPH license show for Spring Oak Lexington in Lexington?

Yes. Spring Oak Lexington holds an active DPH license as a CRCF with 90 beds, larger than the 39-bed midpoint of the 64 senior-serving CRCFs we track in the six Midlands counties.

The term shown ends February 28, 2027, after which the operator must renew. Because the fee is charged per licensed bed, operators have no reason to overstate the number; it is the cap on how many residents may live here.

Sorted by license number, CRC-2343 falls at position 55 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 Spring Oak Lexington if a resident's memory declines?

Only partly: DPH's record shows Alzheimer's care at Spring Oak Lexington but no secured special care unit, so a resident who starts trying to leave would most likely have to move to a building with 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 Wellmore of Lexington (1.3 mi), Lakeside Place Senior Living (3.9 mi), Lexington Memory Care (4.1 mi).

Was Spring Oak Lexington fined by South Carolina?

Not in the period we checked: Spring Oak Lexington is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report from 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.

Where can I read Spring Oak Lexington's DPH inspection reports?

Write to DPH Healthcare Quality and ask: South Carolina keeps CRCF inspection reports off the internet, but Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84 makes them, and the facility's response, available to anyone who requests them in writing.

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.

If Spring Oak Lexington has no opening, where else should we look?

The nearest other senior CRCF is New Light Community Care in Lexington, about 1.1 miles away as the crow flies, licensed for 14 beds and not flagged for an Alzheimer's special care unit.

How far is Spring Oak Lexington from a hospital?

What should we ask Spring Oak Lexington before signing?

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 for a sample week of staff schedules: the legal floor for 90 residents is 12 staff at peak and 3 at night.
• Before counting on public help, ask whether OSS or the Community Choices waiver's Residential Personal Care is accepted here.
• Read the admission agreement's fee schedule, refund terms and 30-day notice clause before you sign.
• The licensee's home state is NJ; ask who runs the building locally and who answers above the administrator.
