Six Mile Retirement Center

What does South Carolina's license record show for Six Mile Retirement Center?

DPH's licensing data shows license CRC-2320 for Six Mile Retirement Center, 41 licensed beds and an expiration date of March 31, 2027; at 41 beds it is smaller than the typical senior-serving CRCF in the four counties (64 beds).

The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to March 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-2320 is number 47 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.

What if a resident of Six Mile Retirement Center develops dementia?

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

Many residents with early dementia live in unsecured buildings; the trigger for a move is usually wandering or behavior the staff cannot manage safely. The nearest licensed CRCFs with a flagged special care unit are Clemson Heritage (7.3 mi), Barclay at Clemson (8.5 mi), Clemson Downs Assisted Living (8.9 mi).

Are there any DPH enforcement orders on file for Six Mile Retirement Center?

We found no DPH administrative or consent order against Six Mile Retirement Center in the enforcement reports covering January 2025 to September 2026.

Absence from the enforcement list says the facility has not recently been fined or sanctioned; it says nothing about routine citations, which you can only see by requesting the inspection report.

Where are the state inspection results for Six Mile Retirement Center?

By written request to DPH Healthcare Quality, or by asking Six Mile Retirement Center 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.

Use the state data to steer the tour: ask when DPH last visited and whether you may read that report and the facility's written response.

• At 41 licensed beds, the peak-hour minimum is 6 staff and the overnight minimum 2; ask how far above that Six Mile Retirement Center actually staffs.
• Ask whether Six Mile Retirement Center 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.
