Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing

How is Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing licensed in South Carolina?

The state record for Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing is license CRC-2419: 128 beds, expiring March 31, 2027. Measured against the 48-bed midpoint of the Lowcountry's senior CRCFs, it is bigger than average.

The record shows the current term ending March 31, 2027, after which the license must be renewed. Since the annual fee is charged per licensed bed ($10 each, $75 floor), operators have little reason to carry beds they do not use.

License numbers are issued in sequence. Ordered from lowest to highest, CRC-2419 is number 50 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.

Does Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing offer a secured memory care unit?

Yes, according to DPH: Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing is flagged for an Alzheimer's special care unit or program, the state's term for a secure area or program for people with probable Alzheimer's or a related dementia that restricts their movement outside it (Regulation 60-84, Section 101.F).

There is no special dementia staffing ratio in South Carolina. The whole building works to the CRCF floor of one staff member for every eight residents at peak times and one for every 30 off-peak, so ask how many people are posted inside the secured area overnight.

Background: South Carolina's rules for Alzheimer's units.

Do any state enforcement orders name Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing?

We found none. The administrative and consent orders DPH listed month by month for January 2025 to September 2026 do not mention Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing.

Keep that in proportion. Orders are kept for serious or repeated failures; routine citations are closed out with a plan of correction and never reach the monthly list, so the inspection report is still worth reading.

Where can families read inspection reports for Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing?

Ask Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing 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 Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing 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.

Where would Claiborne at Brickyard Crossing 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).

Dorchester County is not one of the six coastal counties named in Section 1401.B.1.c of Regulation 60-84, so the out-of-region sheltering requirement does not apply by rule; the written evacuation plan, sheltering agreement and transport plan still do. 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.

The public data sets the agenda: ask the date of DPH's latest visit, what was cited, and to read the signed plan of correction.

• Ask for a sample week of the staffing schedule and compare it with the floor for 128 beds: 16 at peak, 5 off-peak.
• Request the written Alzheimer's special care disclosure and the number of beds inside the secured unit.
• Ask what happens to a resident whose private funds are spent, and whether OSS residents are accepted.
• Read the admission agreement for level-of-care charges, refund terms and the 30-day notice of fee changes.
• The licensee is registered in IL; ask who runs the building locally and who sits above the administrator.
