Ivorys Loving Care II

Is Ivorys Loving Care II a licensed assisted living facility in North Charleston, SC?

Yes. Ivorys Loving Care II appears on DPH's active roster with 10 licensed beds, smaller than the typical (48-bed) senior-serving CRCF among the 56 we track in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

A CRCF license in South Carolina lasts one year. This term started August 1, 2026. Operators pay DPH $10 for each licensed bed (never less than $75) under Section 103.J of Regulation 60-84, which is why the bed figure is a trustworthy size measure.

License numbers are issued in sequence. Ordered from lowest to highest, CRC-2092 is number 34 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.

Can Ivorys Loving Care II look after someone with dementia?

Only in a limited sense: DPH marks Alzheimer's care at Ivorys Loving Care II but no secured special care unit, so a resident who starts trying to leave the building would normally have to move to a community that has 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 Wellmore of Daniel Island (4.5 mi), Palmettos of Charleston (4.6 mi), Colonnade at West Ashley (4.8 mi).

Do any state enforcement orders name Ivorys Loving Care II?

We found none. The administrative and consent orders DPH listed month by month for January 2025 to September 2026 do not mention Ivorys Loving Care II.

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 Ivorys Loving Care II?

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.

Some DPH visits are complaint investigations, and those reports are public on the same terms. When you ask for the latest report, ask what prompted it.

What is Ivorys Loving Care II's hurricane evacuation plan?

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.
