Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility

What does the state license record say about Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility?

The state record for Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility is license CRC-1383: 7 beds, expiring April 30, 2027. Measured against the 48-bed midpoint of the Lowcountry's senior CRCFs, it is smaller than average.

A CRCF license in South Carolina lasts one year. This term started May 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-1383 is number 19 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.

Is there memory care at Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility?

No secured unit is recorded: DPH's data lists no Alzheimer's special care unit at Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility, so someone who begins exit-seeking would normally need a building with one.

The regulation forbids admitting or keeping anyone a physician considers likely to endanger themselves, and that is usually the point at which wandering forces a move. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a special care unit are Wellmore of Daniel Island (3.5 mi), Kempton of Charleston (4.3 mi), Palmettos of Charleston (4.9 mi).

Do any state enforcement orders name Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility?

Not in the period we checked: Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility is absent from every DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement report published for January 2025 to September 2026.

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 Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility?

Ask Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility 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 Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility 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 Ivory's Loving Care Residential Facility 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).

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.
