DPH issues CRCF licenses for one-year terms; the present term began November 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-1454 is number 19 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.
Can North Pointe Assisted Living care for someone with dementia who wanders?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at North Pointe Assisted Living, 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).
The flag tells you a secure program exists, not how large it is: DPH's roster does not publish a separate count of dementia beds. Ask how many of the licensed beds sit inside the secured area and whether there is a waiting list.
Are there any DPH enforcement orders on file for North Pointe Assisted Living?
No order naming North Pointe Assisted Living appears in the Healthcare Quality administrative and consent order reports DPH published for January 2025 to September 2026.
Absence from the enforcement list says the facility has not recently been fined or sanctioned; it says nothing about routine citations, which you can only see by requesting the inspection report.
Does DPH publish inspections for North Pointe Assisted Living?
By written request to DPH Healthcare Quality, or by asking North Pointe Assisted Living directly: the reports are public under Regulation 60-84, Section 202.E, though South Carolina does not publish them online in bulk.
There is no published inspection calendar for CRCFs, so the date of North Pointe Assisted Living's last DPH visit is a question for the administrator. A report that cites deficiencies will come with a plan of correction signed by the administrator; ask to read both.

What should we ask on a tour of North Pointe Assisted Living?
Use the state data to steer the tour: ask for the date of the most recent DPH inspection, the deficiencies cited and the signed plan of correction.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 70-bed building needs at least 9 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 TX; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
