32 | Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) auditors reviewed R1's bank records and other financial documents and observed that R1’s account was charged a total of $143,981 to a company owned by S4, which was licensee of S4’s own facility, during a 13 month period between June 2023 and July 2024. In an interview, S4 said these charges were made via Square to charge for R1’s rent. R1 also paid a $600 check to S4 on 2/14/24 which indicated it was for rent, for a total of $144,581 paid to S4 during this 13 month period. According to R1’s admission agreement, their base rent, including all care costs and supplemental services, cost $4,800 per month, which means R1 should have been charged $62,400 during this same time period. After deducting $6,620, which was deposited to R1 from S4’s company, R1 was overcharged a total amount of $75,561 over the course of 13 months.
R1's bank account also listed a number of suspicious ATM withdrawals throughout the Sacramento Area, totaling $27,504.50. S4’s bank statements showed that cash deposits were made either on the same date or shortly after cash withdrawals were made from R1’s account. R1 was non-ambulatory, according to R1’s medical assessment dated 6/9/23. Three withdrawals were made at an ATM at a casino on 1/22/24, another withdrawal at the same casino’s ATM was made on 2/6/24, and a third withdrawal was made at a different casino on 2/28/24. In an interview on 7/16/24, R1 had no recollection of visiting any casino during the time periods in question. In an interview on 7/22/24, S4 said they enjoy visiting casinos. S4’s bank statements show many cash withdrawals made from ATMs at both of these casinos, both from S4’s personal and business accounts. In interviews, S4 and S4’s child, S1, said they drove R1 to ATMs to make withdrawals. Bank ATM video surveillance cameras captured S1 at an ATM withdrawing cash from R1’s account on 6/8/24. R1’s bank statements showed a withdrawal was authorized on that date in the amount of $900. Bank ATM video cameras captured S1 at another ATM withdrawing cash from R1’s account. R1’s bank statements showed a withdrawal was authorized on that date in the amount of $140. Bank ATM video surveillance cameras captured S4 at an ATM accessing R1’s account. R1 was not seen in any of the bank ATM surveillance captures reviewed by CCLD auditors. In an interview, S1 initially remembered accessing R1’s bank account at an ATM one time, and withdrawing $900. S1 claimed to have given the money to R1. When presented with video surveillance footage showing S1 accessing R1’s account a second time, S1 said that they had withdrawn $140 in cash, and did not know what had been done with the money. In an interview, S4 said that R1 accompanied them to the casino to withdraw cash.
