Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started October 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-2405 falls at position 61 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.
Can Springtree Manor care for someone with dementia?
Only partly: DPH's record shows Alzheimer's care at Springtree Manor 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.
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 Palmettos of Parklane (0.4 mi), Mill Creek Manor (4.2 mi), Wildewood Downs Assisted Living Community (4.3 mi).
Does Springtree Manor have any state penalties on record?
Not in the period we checked: Springtree Manor 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.
How do I get the latest state inspection of Springtree Manor?
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 Springtree Manor, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.
Ask Springtree Manor directly for the date of its latest DPH visit. If deficiencies were cited, a plan of correction exists and you can ask to read it alongside the report.
