The Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner has released a report, finding the woman breached the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights.
She was contracted through a DHB to assist a man in finding a home, and regularly met up with him.
Months later, it was found her relationship with the man had moved beyond that of a professional one.
It's been recommended the woman take on six months of mentoring and education, in relation to the Code of Ethics.
