About Me
Rafsanjani Abdushahid brings over a decade of experience supporting individuals and communities through direct service, supervision, instruction, and leadership within the health and human services field. Guided by a clear vision, he set out to build a business that would not only serve individuals with excellence, but also demonstrate the power of family working together toward a shared purpose. His belief has always been that meaningful, lasting change happens when care extends beyond systems and is rooted in genuine relationships.
Driven by this vision, Rafsanjani encouraged his family to relocate and unite in building an organization grounded in trust, accountability, and shared values. Together, they committed to restructuring the field in a way few had imagined—one that moves beyond traditional models and instead empowers individuals with the freedom, support, and confidence to pursue and conquer whatever goals they set their minds to. This family-centered foundation became the cornerstone of the organization’s mission and daily practice.
With advanced degrees in public administration and student affairs, along with specialized certification in peer support, Rafsanjani blends academic knowledge with practical, hands-on experience. His leadership approach emphasizes structure, compassion, collaboration, and ethical accountability, ensuring services are not only effective, but deeply respectful of each individual’s lived experience and potential for growth.
Rafsanjani’s professional background includes clinical supervision, higher education instruction, and extensive frontline work in diverse health and human services settings. He has held leadership roles requiring careful balance of regulatory compliance, staff development, and quality service delivery, while maintaining a steadfast commitment to community impact, empowerment, and recovery.

Our Foundation & Family-Centered Approach
Rascare was built on the belief that meaningful care begins with family. The foundation was established through years of working closely with families, listening to their concerns, and recognizing the critical role they play in long-term stability and success. This lived understanding shaped Rascare into an organization that values transparency, trust, and collaboration.
Rascare’s partners are family members, reinforcing a model rooted in shared values, accountability, and genuine commitment. By partnering with families—not just serving individuals— Rascare creates supportive environments that foster growth, independence, and dignity for those receiving care.
