South Carolina survey readiness

What South Carolina Department of Public Health — Healthcare Facility Licensing can ask you for, each line cited — and the ones you can't yet produce.

What South Carolina requires

Community Residential Care Facility (CRCF) — Assisted living / residential care
  • The evacuation plan has to be on the wall. A plan for evacuating residents, staff members and visitors — including evacuation routes and procedures — must be established AND POSTED in conspicuous public areas throughout the facility. A plan that lives only in a binder does not satisfy South Carolina. S.C. Code Regs. 61-84.1400

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The fire drill log produces the drill record — we have not published a South Carolina page, because we have not verified a South Carolina drill frequency, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — South Carolina Department of Public Health — Healthcare Facility Licensing and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
