Paradise Residential Services CEO Jocelyne Ininahazwe and her family enjoyed luxury Mercedes brands while the disabled Mainers who relied on the Medicaid agency for 24/7 care were living in squalor, subject to abuse and neglect by non-English speaking staff, including some who were untrained and never subjected to background checks.
That’s the chief takeaway from documents released Friday by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including a termination letter to Paradise that cited “violations [that] place the health and safety of MaineCare Members in immediate jeopardy.”
“[Paradise Residential Services] failed to ensure individuals are protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, specifically, lack of food, spoiled food, unsanitary conditions in the home, broken glass throughout basement, individuals have been repeatedly left without staff, staff not supervising or providing services,” according to the DHHS letter.
The Robinson Report reported exclusively on Paradise’s termination back in March, which came only after the company managed to bilk the taxpayer-funded program for nearly $25 million.

According to a review of federal Medicaid payment records and interviews with ex-employees, the abuse, neglect, and apparent fraud described by the state were part of a lucrative money-making scheme that led by CEO Ininahazwe and CFO Juste Arakaza, both originally of Burundi.
Ex-employees said in March that Ininahazwe and Arakaza earned handsome salaries while simultaneously paying above-market rent through Paradise to real estate holding companies they controlled.
Secretary of State corporate records show Paradise Residential Services was founded by five investors: Ininahazwe, Arakaza, Tresor Niyongabo, Enock Nijimbere Tshibungu, and Eric Nshimiyimana.

Foreigners are stealing us blind and Democrats have been helping them (and I assume taking their cut).
Medicaid as a federal responsibility should be eliminated and turned over the the states, with a declining schedule of reimbursement over 3 years.
Somalis?
It should be up to the states to administer Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare.
In the article it says the ‘New Mainers’ are from Barundi.
No way in hell will I ever allow myself to be "cared for" by Third World, racist, white-hating trash.
The thieves are from Burundi.
So take the stolen money out of the foreign aid the US gives these people.
The United States currently allocates between ** $40 million and $70 million** annually in direct foreign assistance to Burundi, focusing on health, food security, and humanitarian aid.
The breakdown of this support includes:Global Health:
The U.S. and Burundi signed a 5-year, ** $156 million** health cooperation agreement to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and emerging infectious diseases.
Humanitarian Aid & Development:
The U.S. remains one of the largest single donors to Burundi, providing over ** $62 million** to support food security, education, and protection.
On a broader scale, total international aid (including contributions from the EU, UK, and World Bank) to Burundi hovers around ** $621 million** per year.
Meanwhile, the Burundian government itself recently passed a ** $2.35 billion** national budget for the 2026/2027 fiscal year, heavily relying on domestic tax collection as external funding shrinks.
For each one of these fraud cases that are exposed, how many continue undetected?
Is anyone else tired of reading how immigrants take money through fraud?
“Somalis?”
“....CEO Ininahazwe and CFO Juste Arakaza, both originally of Burundi.”
No. We need more cowbell.

This is shameful. No words.
Not Somalis.....
“”both originally of Burundi””
Drag the bastards out into the street and light them on fire.
A true reckoning is coming.
These African run healthcare centers are being set up to euthanize those dependent upon Medicare. Why? Natural born Americans would have difficulty administering “medicines”

Stop sending tax dollars to Burundi and throw these Burundi thieves out of the US.
Can we ever admit we are not compatible with them?
Does it matter. The whole continent is filled with s hole people. If not for European settlers it wouldn’t even be in the Stone Age.
