The license renews every year, and the record shows the current term running to August 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-0233 is number 2 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 Upstate Residential Care develops dementia?
Not according to DPH: the state's licensing data shows no Alzheimer's special care unit at Upstate Residential Care, 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 North Pointe Assisted Living (3.5 mi), Summit Place of Anderson (4.1 mi), Garden House (4.2 mi).
Has Upstate Residential Care been fined by DPH?
Yes. DPH's monthly Healthcare Quality enforcement reports name Upstate Residential Care in 1 order between January 2025 to September 2026, the most recent in the December 2025 report, with a $5,100 monetary penalty.
- December 2025 report: Administrative Order; $5,100 monetary penalty; based on visits including July 22, 2025
A consent order means the facility agreed to the penalty and corrective steps without a contested hearing. The full summary, including prior orders, is in the report PDF linked from DPH's enforcement page. Ask the administrator what changed after the order.
Where are the state inspection results for Upstate Residential Care?
Ask DPH Healthcare Quality in writing: South Carolina does not post CRCF inspection reports online, but Regulation 60-84 (Section 202.E) makes reports of inspections and investigations, with the facility's response, available to the public on written request, with individuals' names redacted.
There is no published inspection calendar for CRCFs, so the date of Upstate Residential Care's last DPH visit is a question for the administrator. A report that cites deficiencies will come with a plan of correction signed by the administrator; ask to read both.

What should families ask Upstate Residential Care before moving in?
Use the state data to steer the tour: ask what led to the order in DPH's December 2025 report and what monitoring is in place now.
- Ask for the date of the most recent DPH inspection, the deficiencies cited and the signed plan of correction.
- Ask how many staff are awake overnight and when peak staffing ends; a full 10-bed building needs at least 2 on duty at peak times.
- Ask whether Medicaid-funded help is accepted here, through OSS or Residential Personal Care, before assuming it is.
- Ask for the written admission agreement; South Carolina requires it to list every fee and give 30 days' notice of any change.
