Why we like it

Aldersly is a 137-bed assisted living community in San Rafael, in the heart of Marin County. Founded with Danish heritage roots, it has a long-standing reputation in the community.

Aldersly is a premium option in one of the Bay Area's most desirable locations, with the staffing depth and programming that come with a larger, established community.

Life Plan community with care continuity
Aldersly offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and extended care on one campus. Transitions to higher levels of support are available at virtually no additional cost, per the site.
Century-old nonprofit with Danish roots
Founded over 100 years ago as a nonprofit for Danish immigrants, now under a board with deep senior-living nonprofit credentials. COA accreditation (#004) signals independent quality verification.
Marselisborg expansion now open
A major new independent living building just opened — the largest expansion in Aldersly's history. Limited residences available, so inventory is actively moving.
Technologically advanced memory care claim
The updated Rosenborg Memory Care unit claims to offer "the most technologically advanced memory care residences in North America" using the Heartfelt Connections program.
Average safety record
8 serious and 5 minor citations across 34 state inspections, with 4 verified complaints. Ask what's changed and how past issues were corrected when you visit.
Ask what 'virtually no additional cost' means in practice
The site promises care transitions at "virtually no additional cost" — but the qualifier matters. Get the contract language specifying exactly what higher-care transitions will cost before signing.
Assisted living pricing starts above average
At roughly $8,845/month to start, pricing sits at the higher end for Marin County. Ask what that base rate includes versus what triggers add-on fees.
