Resident #10 said the bug was not a water roach but a large regular cock roach. Resident #10 said she saw large roaches in her bathroom often. Resident #10 said this bothered her because she did not like roaches. Resident #10 said she always kept her house and bathroom clean when she lived at home. Resident #10 said her mom told her when she was growing up that if you had roaches in your house, you were unclean. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:34 a.m., Resident #8 said he was upset about the water roaches in the facility. Resident #8 said he had cock roaches in bathroom and the roaches came out at night.

Resident #8 said someone needed to replace the base of his toilet. As investigator opened the bathroom door, Resident #8 said he was glad someone looked at his bathroom because he had reported the need for repairs to the housekeeper and no one had fixed the sink or toilet. Resident #8 said he was a large man and he had to lean on something to go to the bathroom and he felt unsafe that the sink would fall off and he would hit his face on the floor and bust his chin. Resident #8 said he was also afraid his toilet would fall over, and he would fall and would not be able to get off the floor. During on observation on [DATE] beginning at 10:40 a.m., of Resident #8's bathroom, observed the sink was a wall mounted porcelain type attached only at the back of the sink. Observed the sink tilted slightly downward in front. Observed the sink was unsteady and moved when pressure was applied to the front. Observed the sink was attached to the wall behind the faucet with a board, approximately 12 inches long by 2 inches in width. Observed the board was screwed into the drywall on each end of the board. Observed the area across the top of sink between the board and faucet and along the sides where the sink met with the drywall, a thick layer of caulk had been applied to attach the sink to the wall. Observed on the right side of the sink, at the top the sink, a ½ inch gap where the sink had pulled away from the wall. Observed the toilet and observed a black substance and old off-white caulking material around the entire base of the toilet. When toilet was touched, the unit moved and was unsteady at the base of the toilet. Observed the toilet lid was lose and unsteady. Observed the right side of the toilet, between the unit and the wall and saw a piece of caulking material that was covered in a black substance, pulled away from the toilet approximately 6 inches in length. Observed the floor was covered in a yellow substance with dirt and fuzz. The area where the tile and drywall met was covered in a yellow, dark stain. Observed a died roach under the sink. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:52 p.m., the Administrator said he was not aware Resident #8's sink and toilet were in need of repair. The Administrator said the facility had remounted Resident #8's sink in the past and Resident #8 put pressure on the sink when he went to bathroom because he was a large man. The Administrator said the facility would need to find a different way to mount Resident #8's sink to be more secure.
