The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to July 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-1030 is number 11 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 Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Foothills?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Foothills, 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 Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Foothills been fined by DPH?
No order naming Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina-Foothills 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.

- Ask for the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and how many beds are inside the secured area.

- Ask which fees rise as care needs grow, and confirm the agreement gives the 30 days' notice of fee changes the regulation requires.
