Bed bugs found in Toledo adult care facilities

State reports show the bugs infested every bedroom of one facility


Thirty-five people suffering from mental health and addiction disorders were removed from six adult care home facilities in Toledo, Ohio, as a result of concerns about poor living conditions, according to an article on The Toledo Blade website.

Unscheduled inspections of the homes in December and January raised questions about residents’ access to basic care and fundamental necessities. 

State and local social service officials performed the unannounced inspections after they received complaints about violence, unsanitary living conditions, and even individuals in one home being sex trafficked.

State reports show bed bugs infested every bedroom of one facility; while in a second location investigators found broken glass, a chicken carcass uncovered on a plate in the refrigerator, a room that smelled like urine, and a mattress flanked by used condoms in the backyard.
