Sherman Residential Care

What does South Carolina's license record show for Sherman Residential Care?

Sherman Residential Care is on the state's active roster as license CRC-2009 with 16 licensed beds, which makes it smaller than the 64-bed middle of the Upstate CRCF roster we cover.

DPH issues CRCF licenses for one-year terms; the present term began March 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-2009 is number 27 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 Sherman Residential Care care for someone with dementia?

Not according to DPH: the state's licensing data shows no Alzheimer's special care unit at Sherman Residential Care, so a resident who begins exit-seeking would usually need a facility with a secured unit.

A CRCF may not admit or keep someone a physician judges likely to endanger themselves, which is usually what forces a move when wandering starts. The nearest licensed CRCFs with a flagged special care unit are Kauhale Pettigru (1.2 mi), Waterstone on Augusta Senior Living (1.3 mi), Terrabella Summit (2.1 mi).

Has South Carolina taken enforcement action against Sherman Residential Care?

No order naming Sherman Residential Care 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.

Does DPH publish inspections for Sherman Residential Care?

Request them from DPH. The state publishes no bulk CRCF inspection data, but inspection and investigation reports for Sherman Residential Care, along with its plan of correction, are public on written request under Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84.

DPH may also visit to investigate a complaint, and those reports are public on the same terms. When you ask for the latest report, ask whether it came from a routine inspection or a complaint investigation.

What questions does Sherman Residential Care's record raise?

Let the state record set the agenda: ask for the date of the most recent DPH inspection, the deficiencies cited and the signed plan of correction.

• At 16 licensed beds, the peak-hour minimum is 2 staff and the overnight minimum 1; ask how far above that Sherman Residential Care actually staffs.
• 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.
