I have elderly clients that reside in a senior building who learned recently that they have Bed Bugs. They are in their 70's and do not have anyone to assist with removing the infested furniture.

What does the management of the senior building say? An elderly friend of ours was in a low-income senior apartment building with a problem with at least one unit and if I recall correctly from some official-looking notices that were posted in the hallway near our friend’s unit, the county health department seemed to be involved in or was monitoring the mitigation efforts.

I woukd think the landlord is responsible to make sure the infestation is taken care of. That he must supply the people to get rid of the furniture. Which, I would not bring back to my apartment.

Snoopy Love makes a good point about municipal involvement.    Is this a privately owned senior building or a municipal one?  If the latter, I think it's the responsibility of the municipality.  If the former, the municipality can act not as an owner but as a governmental agency ensuring proper living conditions.

It strikes me that it's a municipal health issue as well, so the city/county/township might need to be involved.  

If the units are all in one building, I'm wondering if the other residents are dealing with bedbugs as well.

When we had bedbugs several years back, it was the landlord's responsiblity to supply the exterminator, but WE had to get rid of the furniture that was infested.

Fortunately, there was building staff that was able to be paid to get rid of certain items.

If these folks live in a building with maintenance staff, they need to find out if they can help, for a fee.
