Maintenance Director in Resident #1's room, which had been cleaned since observations earlier in the day.
Roaches were not observed. Continued observation while reentering the hallway revealed Resident # 7
approached the Maintenance Director and asked if he had told the surveyor about the nest of roaches they
had found today in her room underneath her roll tray table. The Maintenance Director responded I took it
out of your room and put it here pointing to a tray table in the hallway outside room [ROOM NUMBER].
During an interview on 2/2/2025 at 10:16am with Resident #7's room, which was across the hall from room

spraying.
