The South Carolina Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging offers excellent information relevant to seniors and aging issues. Some of the wonderful programs include: Long Term Care Ombudsman services, which exists to assist residents of long-term care facilities, or assisted living, by offering a voice, or mediator should there be a conflict, suspected abuse, or any other issue that may arise. Family Caregivers may also obtain support through the office on Aging, with counseling, support groups, training, and much more. Health, Safety, Senior Fraud, and many other topics and areas of support are also included on the website.
One of the most helpful tools we found was the SCAccess database, which is detailed in our video tutorial. This is a searchable database that allows users to search for a wide number of services through South Carolina, including, but not limited to assisted living and long-term care, adult day care, hospice, and many others. The database is comprehensive, and should serve as an additional, accurate, and unbiased way to further your research, or to verify information that you may have found elsewhere.
You might already know that Assisted Living facilities are regulated by the state in which they are located. But did you know that some states do not use the term “assisted living”? South Carolina is one of these states; it refers to Assisted Living as “Community Residential Care”.

Why Does Assisted Living Directory focus so much on state-inspections, citations and health reports?
You may have noticed that we (Assisted Living Directory) places a lot of focus on highlighting ways for the general public (you) to research facilities using state resources and data – including how to look up facility inspections, citations and violations reports.
We do this simply because this is such an important decision (finding senior care), and that making a second move after choosing a bad facility can often times be difficult and traumatic. Although there are many great, well-run facilities out there, there are those that have less-than-stellar track records.
We found this very interesting news story on the wistv.com website – who investigated many senior care facilities in South Carolina – to discover that many of them had major issues.
Interesting questions and comments we have received about Assisted Living in South Carolina
Q: My dad has had a stroke and he is paralyzed on his left side. We have been to rehab but things aren’t coming back so we need to look for a facility that will still offer rehab to him to continue to strengthen the good side so that maybe he can become somewhat more independent and possibly even make it home. We are open to many options just want a good place to treat him with good care. Any advice would help. – Andy
