Is there memory care at Artisan Mount Pleasant?
No secured unit is recorded: DPH's data lists no Alzheimer's special care unit at Artisan Mount Pleasant, 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 Savannah Hall Assisted Living (1.6 mi), Mount Pleasant Gardens (1.8 mi), Shem Creek at South Bay (2.3 mi).
Do any state enforcement orders name Artisan Mount Pleasant?
No. Searching DPH's enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 turned up no administrative or consent order against Artisan Mount Pleasant.
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 Artisan Mount Pleasant?
They are public, though not posted online: under Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84, DPH releases Artisan Mount Pleasant's inspection and complaint-investigation reports and the plan of correction to anyone who asks in writing.
Because there is no published schedule, only Artisan Mount Pleasant 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 Artisan Mount Pleasant 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 when the sheltering agreement was last renewed (at least every three years is required) and when staff last rehearsed the plan. See how hurricane rules apply to Lowcountry facilities.

Which questions does Artisan Mount Pleasant's public record raise?
The public data sets the agenda: ask when DPH was last in the building and whether you can see that report and the facility's answer.
- Ask for a sample week of the staffing schedule and compare it with the floor for 112 beds: 14 at peak, 4 off-peak.
- Ask whether Artisan Mount Pleasant accepts residents on Optional State Supplementation (OSS) or Community Choices Residential Personal Care if savings run out.
- Take the admission agreement home first; the regulation requires it to list every charge and give 30 days' notice of increases.
- The licensee is registered in CA; ask who runs the building locally and who sits above the administrator.
