INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR ELDER ABUSE PREVENTION CLASS

I MET AN ANGEL IN HELL

Senior Financial Exploitation has been called the Crime of the 21^st Century. A senior is abused every five seconds in the United States. My wife and I have been fighting a senior living facility that abused us and financially exploited us for over three years. We met at Sun Grove Resort Village in January, 2009, and fell in love. I tell everyone that I met an angel in Hell. We married on October 2, 2010, but she is facing the rejection of her transplanted liver due to senior abuse. We are presenting an elder abuse prevention class on October 22^nd at the Sun City West PORA Adult Learning in order protect seniors from the abuse we suffered. The class will inform the seniors on the scope of elder abuse, the top 10 senior scams, 15 tips to avoid being a victim of elder abuse, and 14 new senior protection law ideas. The state legislators who are interested in protecting seniors will be in attendance, and our private investigator will speak about the need to do background checks on caregivers. The emphasis of the HELP STOP SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION event will be education and prevention, which are the keys to stopping elder abuse. The class is scheduled from 1 PM to 3 PM on 10/22/12 at the PORA Adult Learning Center located at 13815 Camino del Sol, Sun City West, AZ 85375. Seating is limited, so RSVP as soon as possible at (623) 584-2488 ext. #415.

I was living at Sun Grove Resort Village with my 93-year old aunt a year before Carol moved there in January, 2009. I had a stroke and suffer seizures while Carol is a post-liver transplant patient. We were sold on the senior living facility’s advertised/promised medical services and staff, but they were all lies. The senior living facility was not a properly licensed assisted living facility, and the nurse was an imposter nurse who was previously cited in 2005 by the Arizona Board of Nursing. I was the chairman of the residents’ committee which handled complaints from the senior residents living at Sun Grove Resort Village with the manager, Scott Green. Since I had been a bank vice president and on the Better Business Bureau Board, I was able to assist the senior residents file complaints with the proper state governmental agencies. I was forced to resign from the residents’ committee due to landlord retaliation of withholding essential services. When I notified Scott Green that I was moving, that Carol and I were getting married, and that we had filed complaints with officials, then all Hell broke loose.

Scott Green withheld more essential services such as refusing to fix our air conditioning unit, refusing to remove mold from our apartment, and even refusing the delivery of Carol’s medication. Scott Green sued us several times and we have $18,000 worth of wrongful judgments against us from baseless lawsuits. Green forced my 94-year old aunt to move, threatened her with jail time, and extorted $3,000 from her. She passed away last year a very sad and broken woman. Carol is now rejecting her transplanted liver due to her mold exposure, and she will die like our three dogs died because of their exposure to the mold. We saw 46 senior abuse/financial exploitation cases at Sun Grove Resort Village and 25 seniors died with no justice. We just discovered that Scott Green is a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon because he filed over 2,600 false Medicare claims. Scott Green continued to scam seniors with false advertising and baseless lawsuits for eight years at Sun Grove Resort Village until he was recently fired in August, 2012. We also know that the judge who perpetuated that senior financial exploitation criminal activity, Melanie Deforest, lied about her college degrees and is no longer running for the Arrowhead Justice of the Peace position. We have asked the FBI, Department of Justice, Senator John McCain, and President Obama for help in getting Justice for seniors living in Arizona.
