No secured unit is recorded: DPH's data lists no Alzheimer's special care unit at Cooper River Assisted Living, 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 (0.4 mi), Shem Creek at South Bay (1.4 mi), Mount Pleasant Gardens (2.0 mi).
Has DPH sanctioned Cooper River Assisted Living?
No. Searching DPH's enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 turned up no administrative or consent order against Cooper River 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.
Where can families read inspection reports for Cooper River 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.
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.
How does Cooper River Assisted Living 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 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.
