Charleston Senior AdvisorNorth Haven Residential Care Home, at 4326 Leslie St in North Charleston (Charleston County), holds S.C. Department of Public Health community residential care facility license CRC-0877 for 16 beds, valid through August 31, 2027; the state's data marks Alzheimer's care, though not a secured special care unit. In South Carolina a CRCF license is the assisted living license.

Licenses run for a single year, and this one's term opened on September 1, 2026. The license ties one licensee to one address and caps the number of residents, so a new owner or a new building means a fresh license number.
License numbers are issued in sequence. Ordered from lowest to highest, CRC-0877 is number 10 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.
What happens at North Haven Residential Care Home if a resident develops dementia?
Only in a limited sense: DPH marks Alzheimer's care at North Haven Residential Care Home 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.
Forgetfulness by itself does not bar a resident from an open building; what matters is whether the person is a danger to self or others and whether staff can meet their needs. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a special care unit are Colonnade at West Ashley (3.4 mi), Palmettos of Charleston (3.5 mi), Harmony at West Ashley (3.8 mi).
Has North Haven Residential Care Home paid a state penalty?
No. Searching DPH's enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 turned up no administrative or consent order against North Haven Residential Care Home.
Keep that in proportion. Orders are kept for serious or repeated failures; routine citations are closed out with a plan of correction and never reach the monthly list, so the inspection report is still worth reading.
How do we get the latest state inspection of North Haven Residential Care Home?
They are public, though not posted online: under Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84, DPH releases North Haven Residential Care Home's inspection and complaint-investigation reports and the plan of correction to anyone who asks in writing.
Because there is no published schedule, only North Haven Residential Care Home 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 North Haven Residential Care Home 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.
