PORT ST. LUCIE — A Port St. Lucie man was arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person after his 90-year-old mother was found emaciated and in urine-soaked clothes, an arrest affidavit released Sunday said.

Robert M. Rozenti, 68, of the 2000 block of Southeast Franciscan Street, was the sole provider for his mother and told police that he was appointed his mother’s power of attorney in 2006, the report said.

Early Saturday, the victim, Anna Chuboff was transported to Columbia Hospital after falling at the residence. Police were called to the hospital after the paramedics found her “unwashed, wearing clothing soaked in urine, severely underweight and emaciated,” the report said.

Police also noted that the shoes the victim had been wearing had not been removed for a long period of time and had “grown into her feet,” the report said. Her toenails had taken the shape of her shoes, police said in the report.

Chuboff told investigators that her son was “abusive to her verbally” but never hit her, the report said. She told police that she had not received medical attention for some time despite being diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure, the report states. At the time of questioning, she could not remember if she ate that day. Chuboff told police that she could not remember the last time she bathed and she routinely soils her clothing, the report said.

Investigators said that Chuboff was extremely frail and her shoes were soiled with what appeared to be fecal matter. Part of her slippers were embedded in her skin and her rib bones appeared to be protruding, the report said.

When questioned by police, Rozenti said that he did not have a good relationship with his mother as he was her “illegitimate son,” the affidavit said. He stated that he is aware that his mother needs 24-hour care, but does not provide that for her.

Rozenti then took police to his home that he shared with his mother. Investigators said the home had an odor of urine and feces. “There was what appeared to be fecal stains on the carpet throughout the home, on the walls and light switches,” the report said.

According to the report, Chuboff’s room had limited clothing and no bedding on the mattress. Police found tomatoes, one package of sandwich meat, oatmeal and a few cans of soup in the kitchen, the report said.

After the investigation, Rozenti was arrested for neglect of an elderly person and transported to the St. Lucie Jail.

After treatment at the hospital, Chuboff is to be released to social services, the affidavit states.
