DPH issues CRCF licenses for one-year terms; the present term began July 1, 2026. A facility may not house more residents than its licensed beds, and the license names one licensee at one address, so a sale or move means a new license.
DPH assigns license numbers in sequence. CRC-2360 is number 50 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.
Is there memory care at Kauhale Pettigru?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Kauhale Pettigru, 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 Kauhale Pettigru been fined by DPH?
No order naming Kauhale Pettigru 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 Kauhale Pettigru?
Ask DPH Healthcare Quality in writing: South Carolina does not post CRCF inspection reports online, but Regulation 60-84 (Section 202.E) makes reports of inspections and investigations, with the facility's response, available to the public on written request, with individuals' names redacted.
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 Kauhale Pettigru?
Use the state data to steer the tour: request the latest DPH inspection or complaint-investigation report and the plan of correction that answered it.
- At 115 licensed beds, the peak-hour minimum is 15 staff and the overnight minimum 4; ask how far above that Kauhale Pettigru actually staffs.
- Ask for the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and how many beds are inside the secured area.
- Ask whether Kauhale Pettigru participates in Optional State Supplementation (OSS) or Community Choices Residential Personal Care, in case savings run low.
- 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 OH; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
