What does the state license record say about Bishop Gadsden Gadsden Glen Center for Health and Rehab- Arcadia?

License CRC-2410 covers Bishop Gadsden Gadsden Glen Center for Health and Rehab- Arcadia for 32 residents; among the 56 senior-serving CRCFs in the three counties, whose midpoint is 48 beds, that makes it smaller than most.

Licenses run for a single year, and this one's term opened on August 24, 2026. The license ties one licensee to one address and caps the number of residents, so a new owner or a new building means a fresh license number.

License numbers are issued in sequence. Ordered from lowest to highest, CRC-2410 is number 49 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.

What is Bishop Gadsden Gadsden Glen Center for Health and Rehab- Arcadia's hurricane evacuation plan?

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 which vehicles are contracted, how medications travel with residents, and how families are told where their relative went. See how hurricane rules apply to Lowcountry facilities.
