COMPLAINT CONTROL NUMBER: 47-HC-20251126153605

Licensee is financially abusing their client.

Enforcement Analyst (EA) Megan Vigil met with Licensee, Rowena Saadat regarding the above-referenced allegation. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that Saadat obtained full power of attorney (POA) over a client in care. The investigation also found that Saadat operates a Home Care Organization (HCO) that is administratively and operationally connected to a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) #079201209, from which the HCO is also operated. The licensee was additionally identified as a board member of the RCFE and is believed to have made changes in order to obtain POA. Evidence gathered indicates a potential financial conflict of interest due to the licensee’s dual roles as both an HCO operator and a current/ former RCFE board member. Furthermore, statements obtained during the investigation were found to be inconsistent and not fully supported by information gathered through interviews. Based on evidence obtained and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Health and Safety Code, Division 2, Chapter 13, Section 1796.38 is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the 9099, 9099D, appeal rights were provided to the Licensee.
