DPH issues CRCF licenses for one-year terms; the present term began December 1, 2025. 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-2146 is number 37 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.
Does Residences at Greer have an Alzheimer's special care unit?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Residences at Greer, 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.
Are there any DPH enforcement orders on file for Residences at Greer?
No order naming Residences at Greer 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.
Where are the state inspection results for Residences at Greer?
By written request to DPH Healthcare Quality, or by asking Residences at Greer directly: the reports are public under Regulation 60-84, Section 202.E, though South Carolina does not publish them online in bulk.
Because inspections happen “as deemed appropriate” rather than on a fixed cycle, ask the facility the date of its most recent DPH visit, which deficiencies were cited, and to see the signed plan of correction.

What should families ask Residences at Greer before moving in?
Let the state record set the agenda: ask when DPH last visited and whether you may read that report and the facility's written response.
- Ask to see a week's staffing schedule; with 110 beds the regulation's floor is 14 staff at peak and 4 off-peak.
- Ask for the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and how many beds are inside the secured area.
- Ask what happens if a private-pay resident's money runs out, and whether the building accepts OSS residents.
- Ask which fees rise as care needs grow, and confirm the agreement gives the 30 days' notice of fee changes the regulation requires.
- The licensee is based in GA; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
