Woman found in unheated house trailer moved to nursing home

BOARDMAN — A 91-year-old woman found earlier this month in a trailer without heat is being cared for in a nursing home.

Family Services Agency also is pursuing guardianship of the woman.

The furnace in the trailer at Martin Trailer Park, South Avenue, had malfunctioned. This was discovered when a social worker from the Adult Protective Services unit of Mahoning County Department of Job and Family Services checked on the woman Feb. 5. Temperatures that day dipped to the single digits and pop sitting on the kitchen counter had frozen.
