A report has been released after a 14 month-long investigation titled, "No Place to Call Home" by the Protection & Advocacy for People with Disabilities, Inc.
P& A has called for state action to protect residents of South Carolina Community Residential Care Facilities (CRCF) that are operating under unsafe, and unsanitary conditions. The company made more than 150 unannounced visits to CRCF facilities over the course of two years. The report outlines immediate action items that P&A feels will lead to better treatment of the 16,700 South Carolinians living in CRCFs, which house between two and more than 100 residents who are elderly or have disabilities.

The names of the facilities were not included in the report.
