Can Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Clinton care for someone with dementia who wanders?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Clinton, 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.

Start with what the public record raises: ask when DPH last visited and whether you may read that report and the facility's written response.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 43-bed building needs at least 6 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.
- Ask for the written admission agreement; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' notice of any change.
