A California woman has been accused of orchestrating a scheme that defrauded Medicare of $3.2 million. Just days before facing felony charges, Flor Mora, a 49-year-old self-identified medical worker, showcased her newly purchased $4 million waterfront home in Carmel Highlands, sharing images of this so-called “dream house.” Her story was featured in a publication that highlights luxurious properties known for their fairy-tale aesthetics and beautiful ocean views.
“Every time I drove down that street, this house always came to mind,” Mora remarked about her newest acquisition, which she bought in November 2025.
The Attorney General, Rob Bonta, released a complaint accusing her of running a fake clinic called Foundation Hospice, Inc., and complicity with six others in defrauding Medicare through false billing for hospice services.
In an ironic twist, Mora expressed admiration for her home, stating that she had long hoped it would be hers—all while being implicated in this major fraud case. The property itself, recognized as a stunning example of Tudor Revival architecture and voted Home of the Year by Wall Street Journal readers in 2025, boasts four bedrooms and is perched above the Tickle Pink Inn, surrounded by lush English gardens.
Most windows provide breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, and the description highlights its “tranquil tranquility and coastal elegance” as well as distinct Tudor design features.
As of Friday, attempts to reach Mora for a comment were unsuccessful.
She is among seven individuals facing charges related to a complex scheme that lasted from 2016 to 2024, aimed at unlawfully acquiring Medicare and Medicaid funds, as reported by Bonta’s office. State records indicate that Flor Zulema Mora is the registered owner of Fountain Hospice.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, her clinics received public thanks from a local hospital for delivering meals to emergency staff, illustrating a stark contrast to the allegations now surrounding her.
The real estate records confirm that Mora purchased her notable home in Carmel Highlands in November 2025.
Charges have been brought against a total of seven people alleged to have participated in this fraud, which includes clinic operators and medical professionals tied to Compassionate Touch Hospice, Spiritual Touch Hospice, and Fountain Hospice. Among those accused are nurse Nimfa Molina and several medical directors.
Bonta issued a warning to those involved in similar fraudulent activities: “We are monitoring, we are investigating, and we will take action.”
