3 serious and 3 minor state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2023 across 13 inspections. The most significant substantiated finding, from February 2024, involved residents being restricted from food: inspectors observed locked cabinet access to food, inadequate meal portions, and residents reporting they were not receiving enough to eat, which inspectors described as an immediate health and safety risk. In June 2024, 2 complaints were verified confirming that residents were transferred out of the facility without the required written 30-day eviction notice and that the administrator failed to report those transfers to state licensing officials; a citation was also issued that month for incomplete resident records at admission. A May 2025 unannounced visit found that delayed egress safety devices on both entry doors and 1 resident room were non-functional. The facility has been in operation since May 2023 and is licensed for 6 non-ambulatory residents.
All Star Care Inc is a 6-bed residential care facility in Palmdale connected to AllStar Senior Referral, a senior placement agency. The operator personally visits homes they represent and maintains strict selection criteria for staffing, licensing, cleanliness, and safety.
Licensed since 2023, the facility is relatively new but backed by an organization with broader senior care experience.
Operator with senior placement expertise
Connected to AllStar Senior Referral, the operator has firsthand knowledge of what makes a good care home — they've visited and evaluated many facilities as part of their placement work. That perspective should inform how they run their own home.
Palmdale offers more affordable care options
Located in the Antelope Valley, Palmdale generally has lower costs of living than central LA. For families where affordability is a primary concern, this area is worth exploring even if it means a longer drive from the city.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 5.0 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. Multiple substantiated allegations in just two years of operation is a concern. Ask directly about the nature of the citations and what has changed.
Only 2 years of operation
Licensed in May 2023, All Star Care is still a very new home. There's limited history to evaluate. Ask about staff turnover, occupancy levels, and how the home has evolved since opening.
Palmdale is remote from central LA
Located roughly 60 miles north of downtown LA in the Antelope Valley, Palmdale requires a significant commute for family visits from most parts of the metro area. Factor this into your decision.
