Dominique Emmanuel is facing one count of medical assistance fraud by provider and theft of over $1,200 by a single scheme, the Suffolk County District Attorney.
Emmanuel was a Tempus Unlimited personal care attendant for the Mattapan woman. In February 2023, the woman’s daughter noticed that Emmanuel was named an alternate executor of her mother’s will. As she dug into her mother’s finances, she found a lengthy history of fraud and theft and contacted police, the prosecutor said.
Boston police and Homeland Security agents found that someone had taken a reverse mortgage out on the woman’s home and pocketed the cash, allowing the house to go into foreclosure. Her family did not know of this.
Emmanuel withdrew $120,000 from the woman’s bank account and wrote checks to a construction company for work that was never done, authorities said. She collected $30,000 in rent — $1,800 a month from March 2021 until December 2022— for a tenant at the house and never gave it to the woman, authorities said.
