The service agreement includes service control for roaches. Six out of seven residents interviewed could not corroborate this allegation. Five of seven residents interviewed stated they have not observed cockroaches in the facility. Four of seven resident stated they have seen the pest control company performing pest control services on a monthly basis. Visual observations by LPA Vaid were made in seven residents’ rooms: around and under the beds and in the bathrooms-under the sink and shower areas, dining areas- water fountains and the microwave areas.
