No. Searching DPH's enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 turned up no administrative or consent order against Stratford Place Goose Creek - Assisted Living.
Staying off the enforcement list means no recent penalty or sanction; it does not mean DPH found nothing to correct. Only the inspection report shows that.
How do we get the latest state inspection of Stratford Place Goose Creek - Assisted Living?
Put a written request to DPH Healthcare Quality. South Carolina keeps CRCF inspection reports offline, but Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84 opens inspection and investigation reports, and the facility's response, to the public on written request, with personal names removed.
Because there is no published schedule, only Stratford Place Goose Creek - Assisted Living 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 Stratford Place Goose Creek - Assisted Living 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).
Berkeley 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 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.
