Licenses run for a single year, and this one's term opened on August 1, 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-0825 is number 8 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.

Sister homes often share an owner, policies and some staff while operating in separate houses. Ask which house has an opening, whether staff float between houses, who is awake overnight in each, and whether a resident can move to a sister house if needs or roommates change. The questions further down this page apply to each house.
Can Cabading Homes #3 look after someone with dementia?
No secured unit is recorded: DPH's data lists no Alzheimer's special care unit at Cabading Homes #3, so someone who begins exit-seeking would normally need a building with one.
Forgetfulness by itself does not bar a resident from an open building; what matters is whether the person is a danger to self or others and whether staff can meet their needs. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a special care unit are Palmettos of Charleston (4.2 mi), Wellmore of Daniel Island (4.4 mi), Colonnade at West Ashley (4.4 mi).
Has Cabading Homes #3 paid a state penalty?
Not in the period we checked: Cabading Homes #3 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.
Where can families read inspection reports for Cabading Homes #3?
Ask Cabading Homes #3 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.
DPH has no fixed inspection cycle for CRCFs; it visits “as deemed appropriate” and without notice. On a tour, ask for the date of the last visit, the deficiencies cited and the signed plan of correction.
Where would Cabading Homes #3 residents go in a hurricane evacuation?
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.
