The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to February 28, 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-2425 is number 56 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 Spring Arbor of Anderson care for someone with dementia who wanders?
DPH's licensing data flags an Alzheimer's special care unit or program at Spring Arbor of Anderson, 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).
Under the Alzheimer's Special Care Disclosure Act (S.C. Code 44-36-510 and following), a facility that markets dementia care must disclose in writing what makes that care special: its philosophy, admission and discharge process, staffing and training, activities and the physical environment. Ask for that disclosure before touring.
Has South Carolina taken enforcement action against Spring Arbor of Anderson?
No order naming Spring Arbor of Anderson 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 Spring Arbor of Anderson?
By written request to DPH Healthcare Quality, or by asking Spring Arbor of Anderson 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 Spring Arbor of Anderson before moving in?
Start with what the public record raises: request the latest DPH inspection or complaint-investigation report and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 70-bed building needs at least 9 on duty at peak times.
- 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.
- Take the admission agreement home before signing and check the level-of-care fees, the refund policy and the 30-day notice clause.
- The licensee is based in TN; ask who manages the building day to day and who to call above the administrator.
