Brookdale Brushy Creek

What do DPH's records say about Brookdale Brushy Creek?

Brookdale Brushy Creek is on the state's active roster as license CRC-2349 with 52 licensed beds, which makes it smaller than the 64-bed middle of the Upstate CRCF roster we cover.

South Carolina CRCF licenses run one year at a time; this one's current license year began March 1, 2026. The annual fee is $10 per licensed bed or $75, whichever is greater (Regulation 60-84, Section 103.J), so the bed count on the license is also what the operator pays on.

DPH assigns license numbers in sequence. CRC-2349 is number 49 of 61 when the four-county senior CRCF roster is sorted from the lowest number to the highest, a rough guide to how long this license line has existed rather than the age of the building.

What if a resident of Brookdale Brushy Creek develops dementia?

Not according to DPH: the state's licensing data shows no Alzheimer's special care unit at Brookdale Brushy Creek, so a resident who begins exit-seeking would usually need a facility with a secured unit.

Many residents with early dementia live in unsecured buildings; the trigger for a move is usually wandering or behavior the staff cannot manage safely. The nearest licensed CRCFs with a flagged special care unit are Terrabella Thornblade (2.7 mi), Residences at Greer (3.1 mi), Gables on Pelham Assisted Living and Memory Care (3.3 mi).

Has Brookdale Brushy Creek been fined by DPH?

None that we found: Brookdale Brushy Creek does not appear in DPH's monthly Healthcare Quality enforcement reports from January 2025 to September 2026.

Enforcement orders are reserved for serious or repeated problems. Ordinary inspection findings are corrected through a plan of correction and never reach the monthly report, so a clean enforcement record is not the same as a clean inspection.

Does DPH publish inspections for Brookdale Brushy Creek?

Request them from DPH. The state publishes no bulk CRCF inspection data, but inspection and investigation reports for Brookdale Brushy Creek, along with its plan of correction, are public on written request under Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84.

DPH may also visit to investigate a complaint, and those reports are public on the same terms. When you ask for the latest report, ask whether it came from a routine inspection or a complaint investigation.

What should we ask on a tour of Brookdale Brushy Creek?

Use the state data to steer the tour: ask when DPH last visited and whether you may read that report and the facility's written response.

• Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 52-bed building needs at least 7 on duty at peak times.
• Ask what happens if a private-pay resident's money runs out, and whether the building accepts OSS residents.
• Ask for the written admission agreement; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' notice of any change.
• The licensee is based in TN; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
