FYI Safety Score

7.7 Fair

6 state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2022 across 10 inspections. The most serious substantiated findings include residents going without organized activities during a 2022 complaint investigation, where 3 of 7 residents reported being bored and no activities calendar was posted for Melrose Chateau specifically. A 2022 complaint also confirmed the facility failed to send a written eviction report to the state within the required 5-day window, a minor procedural citation. A January 2026 complaint was substantiated after a resident was moved between buildings without a required 30-day written notice and without staff filing required unusual incident reports about the behavioral issues cited as the reason for the move. Routine annual inspections in 2024 and 2025 noted the facility in clean and compliant condition. A January 2026 office meeting with state licensing officials addressed a pending ownership change affecting Melrose Chateau and 3 related facilities under the same operator group.
