Many families are still looking for answers after the Genesis Saint Joseph's Center assisted living facility in Trumbull was evacuated overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

The Town of Trumbull says that the Connecticut State Department of Public Health first started investigating an issue with the water Wednesday afternoon, before making the decision that the nearly 200 people inside needed to be evacuated at around 11 p.m.

State Sen. Sujata Gadkar Wilcox, representing District 22, says all residents have been safely relocated and if families have any questions they can reach out to Trumbull's office of First Selectman. Gadkar Wilcox says the Connecticut Department of Health will advise when it is safe for all residents to return.

For some people like TJ Meade, that meant a call in the middle of the night that his son was being moved out.

"I asked them what was up, and they said well, they had a positive test for Legionnaire's," said Meade.

While News 12 heard the same thing from other families off-camera, the state Department of Public Health has not responded to News 12's requests to confirm that they found Legionella bacteria.

In a statement released earlier in the day, they did say that the evacuation was due to the center's "ongoing inability to manage its water system."

"I was aware that they were having a water problem here," said Meade. "They had shut off water for showers and things like that."

The center said that it is currently changing its water filters but answered "no comment" when asked about a positive Legionella test.

While the town of Trumbull called in the police and fire departments, along with ambulances to help move all of the residents Meade says when he got there, "it seemed fairly organized, actually, it seemed like it was fairly under control."

But Stratford's Debbie Dupree-Holland had a different experience dealing with the evacuation of her 83-year-old father, saying she and her family "never got a phone call, an email or nothing."

Instead, she says she only found out what was happening by seeing our report on News 12 Thursday morning, and quickly called the center to ask where her father was.

"They did give us a location in Fairfield," Dupree-Holland said, "but we called Fairfield, they said he's not there so....Where is he? We don't know."

Along with her siblings, Dupree-Holland spent most of the day calling just about every care center in the area, hoping to find her father, who has dementia.

"He knows when he's in a different place, and I'm pretty sure he's probably wondering where he's at and probably wondering where we are. It's something I don't even want to think about right now and talk about," she said.

Luckily, Dupree-Holland says she got a call a little before dinner that her father had been found, and was at a home in New Haven, saying the family is working on getting him somewhere a little closer to them.
