The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to January 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-2003 is number 26 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 Pearl at Five Forks care for someone with dementia who wanders?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Pearl 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).
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.
What enforcement orders are on file for Pearl at Five Forks?
Yes. DPH's monthly Healthcare Quality enforcement reports name Pearl at Five Forks in 1 order between January 2025 to September 2026, the most recent in the April 2026 report.
- April 2026 report: Consent Order; based on visits including July 22, 2025
A consent order means the facility agreed to the penalty and corrective steps without a contested hearing. The full summary, including prior orders, is in the report PDF linked from DPH's enforcement page. Ask the administrator what changed after the order.
Does DPH publish inspections for Pearl at Five Forks?
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.
There is no published inspection calendar for CRCFs, so the date of Pearl at Five Forks'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.

- 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 64-bed building needs at least 8 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 Pearl 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 GA; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
