FYI Safety Score

6.0 Below Average

Aldersly has 13 state citations (8 serious, 5 minor) and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 34 inspections, with its most recent inspection in March 2026. The most significant documented findings involve incident reporting failures: inspectors cited the facility for not reporting a resident fall that resulted in a fracture to state regulators, a repeat violation that resulted in a $250 civil penalty plus $100 per day until the deficiency was corrected. A December 2022 complaint was substantiated finding that emergency call pendants were malfunctioning, with devices alarming for residents who had already left the facility and staff at times failing to clear alerts after responding, leaving the system unreliable. A separate investigation found that fall injuries were disclosed to responsible parties but not reported to Community Care Licensing as required. Multiple complaints involving staffing levels, cleanliness, rough handling of residents, and resident record access were investigated and found unsubstantiated or unfounded.
