Department of Public Health community residential care facility license CRC-1209 for 20 beds, valid through May 31, 2027; the state's data shows no Alzheimer's special care unit.

License numbers are issued in sequence. Ordered from lowest to highest, CRC-1209 is number 17 of the 56 senior CRCF licenses in the tri-county area; that hints at how long this license line has existed, not how old the building is.
Is there memory care at Bell's Professional Residential Home Care?
No secured unit is recorded: DPH's data lists no Alzheimer's special care unit at Bell's Professional Residential Home Care, so someone who begins exit-seeking would normally need a building with one.
Plenty of residents with early memory loss do well in unsecured buildings; the move usually comes with wandering or behavior staff cannot safely manage. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a special care unit are Palmettos of Charleston (5.0 mi), Colonnade at West Ashley (5.1 mi), Wellmore of Daniel Island (5.7 mi).
Do any state enforcement orders name Bell's Professional Residential Home Care?
Not in the period we checked: Bell's Professional Residential Home Care is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report published for January 2025 to September 2026.
Most citations end with a signed plan of correction rather than a fine, which means a clean enforcement history and a clean inspection are two different things.
Are Bell's Professional Residential Home Care's DPH inspection results public?
Ask Bell's Professional Residential Home Care for its most recent report, and ask DPH in writing as a check. Regulation 60-84, Section 202.E, makes the reports public even though the state publishes no CRCF inspection data in bulk.
Because there is no published schedule, only Bell's Professional Residential Home Care can tell you when DPH last came. Any report with citations should have a plan of correction signed by the administrator attached; read the two together.
How does Bell's Professional Residential Home Care prepare for a Lowcountry hurricane?
Ask to see it: every South Carolina CRCF must keep a written emergency and disaster evacuation plan, made with its county emergency management agency, that names where residents will be sheltered, how they will be moved and who will care for them, and residents or their responsible party may inspect it (Regulation 60-84, Section 1401).
Because the building is in Charleston County, Regulation 60-84 (Section 1401.B.1.c) requires its hurricane plan to name at least one sheltering facility outside the six coastal counties of Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Horry, Jasper and Georgetown. Ask how the facility handled the last evacuation order and what it would do if the sheltering facility were full. See how hurricane rules apply to Lowcountry facilities.

The public data sets the agenda: ask for the most recent DPH inspection or complaint report and the written response to it.
- Ask for a sample week of the staffing schedule and compare it with the floor for 20 beds: 3 at peak, 1 off-peak.
- Before counting on public help, confirm whether the building takes OSS or Residential Personal Care at all.
- Take the admission agreement home first; the regulation requires it to list every charge and give 30 days' notice of increases.
