South Carolina CRCF licenses run one year at a time; this one's current license year began June 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-2398 is number 54 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 should we ask on a tour of Gables on Pelham Assisted Living and Memory Care?
Start with what the public record raises: request the latest DPH inspection or complaint-investigation report and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 119-bed building needs at least 15 on duty at peak times.
- Ask for the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and how many beds are inside the secured area.
- Ask whether Medicaid-funded help is accepted here, through OSS or Residential Personal Care, before assuming it is.
- Take the admission agreement home before signing and check the level-of-care fees, the refund policy and the 30-day notice clause.
- The licensee is based in NC; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
