The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to August 31, 2027. Because DPH charges the license fee per licensed bed ($10 a bed, $75 minimum), the licensed-bed figure is a dependable measure of the building's size.
DPH assigns license numbers in sequence. CRC-1960 is number 25 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.
Does Harmony at Five Forks have an Alzheimer's special care unit?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Harmony at Five Forks, which South Carolina defines as a secure, special unit or program for residents with probable Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia that limits residents' access outside the designated area (Regulation 60-84, Section 101.F).
South Carolina does not set a separate staffing ratio for dementia units; the general CRCF minimum of one staff member per eight residents at peak hours and one per 30 at night applies to the building. Ask how many staff are physically on the secured unit at 2 a.m.
Has Harmony at Five Forks been fined by DPH?
No order naming Harmony at Five Forks appears in the Healthcare Quality administrative and consent order reports DPH published for 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 Harmony at Five Forks?
By written request to DPH Healthcare Quality, or by asking Harmony at Five Forks directly: the reports are public under Regulation 60-84, Section 202.E, though South Carolina does not publish them online in bulk.
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.

Let the state record set the agenda: request the latest DPH inspection or complaint-investigation report and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask to see a week's staffing schedule; with 92 beds the regulation's floor is 12 staff at peak and 4 off-peak.
- Ask for the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and how many beds are inside the secured area.
- Ask whether Harmony at Five Forks participates in Optional State Supplementation (OSS) or Community Choices Residential Personal Care, in case savings run low.
- 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 VA; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
