Are nursing homes safe? Tell us what you know

Since late 2014, nursing homes in Ohio have been required to alert residents if a registered sex offender is moving in. They also are required to create care plans to ensure a safe environment for all.

Prior to that, hundreds of sex offenders had been living in Ohio nursing homes unknown to other residents.

The I-Team wants to check up on this law.

Have you or a relative in a local nursing home received a sex offender notification or been informed about care plans involving fellow residents upon moving in?
