Williams Community Care Home

How big is Williams Community Care Home, and is its license current?

Yes. Williams Community Care Home holds an active DPH license as a CRCF with 9 beds, smaller 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 May 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-2205 falls at position 43 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 Williams Community Care Home if a resident's memory declines?

Only partly: DPH's record shows Alzheimer's care at Williams Community Care Home 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 Merrill Gardens at Columbia (6.6 mi), SC Episcopal Home at Still Hopes (CRCF) (6.8 mi), Laurel Crest (7.5 mi).

Does Williams Community Care Home have any state penalties on record?

Not in the period we checked: Williams Community Care Home is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report from January 2025 to September 2026.

Keep that in proportion. Penalty orders are the exception; most problems DPH finds on a visit are closed out with a plan of correction that never appears in the monthly report.

How do I get the latest state inspection of Williams Community Care Home?

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 Williams Community Care Home, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.

Ask Williams Community Care Home 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.

What should we ask Williams Community Care Home before signing?

Let DPH's data shape the visit: ask the date of the last DPH visit and whether you can read the report and the facility's response.

• Ask how many workers are awake on the overnight shift; the minimum for a full 9-bed building is 1, and 2 at peak hours.
• Ask whether Williams Community Care Home accepts Optional State Supplementation (OSS) or Community Choices Residential Personal Care if savings run out.
• Ask which charges rise as care needs rise, and check that the agreement promises 30 days' notice of any increase.
