FYI Safety Score

4.1 Poor

Melrose Villas has 17 state citations (3 serious, 14 minor) and 8 verified complaints since 2021 across 39 inspections. Bed bugs appear in 3 separate complaint investigations spanning October 2023 through November 2025: the 2023 inspection confirmed an active infestation in a resident room and resulted in a citation for failure to maintain a clean and safe environment, a December 2024 investigation found that 2 rooms had been treated by pest control after staff reported bug activity in late September 2024, and a November 2025 complaint found bed bugs in at least 4 rooms, requiring heat treatment, pesticide application, and replacement of mattresses and furnishings. A 2022 complaint was verified after inspectors observed the odor of urine in the facility, attributed to a practice of holding soiled linens in a covered trash can before transporting them to laundry at end of day. A 2025 complaint alleged staff failed to arrange medical care for a resident following a burn injury, with inspection records noting no 9-1-1 call or formal outside medical assessment was documented after the incident.
