Does Somerby of Mount Pleasant offer a secured memory care unit?
Yes, according to DPH: Somerby of Mount Pleasant is flagged for an Alzheimer's special care unit or program, the state's term for a secure area or program for people with probable Alzheimer's or a related dementia that restricts their movement outside it (Regulation 60-84, Section 101.F).
Any building that advertises dementia care must hand families a written disclosure under S.C. Code 44-36-510: how the program is run, who is admitted and discharged, staff training and staffing, activities and the physical setting. Request it before the visit and compare it with what you see.
Background: South Carolina's rules for Alzheimer's units.
Do any state enforcement orders name Somerby of Mount Pleasant?
We found none. The administrative and consent orders DPH listed month by month for January 2025 to September 2026 do not mention Somerby of 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.
Are Somerby of Mount Pleasant's DPH inspection results public?
They are public, though not posted online: under Section 202.E of Regulation 60-84, DPH releases Somerby of Mount Pleasant's inspection and complaint-investigation reports and the plan of correction to anyone who asks in writing.
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 Somerby of Mount Pleasant'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.
