NOTE:  Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan and her family were put into SGRV apartment  #1027 after the fire destroyed her SGRV apartment and all her belongings. That was the same apartment as Carol Fairall's SGRV apartment #1027 in October, 2009 which had TOXIC BLACK MOLD.

Arizona and Federal Officials (HUD) have ignored our
FAIR HOUSING COMPLAINTS for over four years.
 
 
 
My 12/10/13 Email and Letter to President Obama
 

EMAILED ON PRESIDENTAL WEBSITE
December 10, 2013
Dear President Obama:
The problem with governmental jobs is that there is no accountability and the officials escape their poor performances into retirement. We presented this problem to the US Senate - Special Committee on Aging. They have passed our failed 1,500+ day old HUD FAIR HOUSING COMPLAINT #091104058 to be reconsidered by the OIG HUD. We have posted our “The Sun Grove Resort Village Elder Abuse Story (SGRV)” online as directed by the Senate’s Special Committee on Aging.
My wife, Carol, is dying of her transplanted liver rejection because the SGRV senior living facility refused the delivery of her anti-rejection medication, refused to fix water leak and toxic mold apartment problems, and refused to accept two Reasonable Accommodation Requests from us and our attorney because we fought for our and others’ fair housing rights. Our attorney even wrote in his 10/09/09 email to the SGRV stating: “Please instruct Scott Green and staff at Sun Grove that they are not to interfere or interrupt the delivery of Ms. Buck’s (now Fairall) medication. This strikes me as clear bad faith and retaliation.” SGRV even refused the free usage of our properly trained and licensed service dog without the illegal collection of a $450 dog deposit fee.
Chuck Hauptman, HUD’s San Francisco former administrator, improperly closed our Fair Housing Complaint against Sun Grove Resort Village on 05/13/11. Mr. Hauptman failed to contact our supporting witnesses, failed to let the HUD Investigator Catherine Ross Perry finish gathering our evidence, and failed to properly consider our evidence. Mr. Hauptman believed the phony statements of SGRV's felon manager Scott Green and the falsified documentation of Green's accomplice attorney Scott E. Williams. Mr. Hauptman told us that he did not want a legal battle with SGRV’s attorney the last year before his retirement. HUD did nothing to verify our fair housing violations complaint evidence or our 27 witnesses.

We had to hire our private investigator, Jacob Mueller, to document our supporting witnesses’ testimonies before they died. Presently we have documented 66 SGRV elder abuse fair housing cases and 35 of those seniors have died while being ignored by state and federal officials.  HUD's Chuck Hauptman just closed our complaint to clear his desk the day before his vacation. Mr. Hauptman retired on 12/14/12 from a 40+ year HUD governmental career but he should have been fired for his poor performance. Mr. Hauptman’s HUD Region #9 had the worst overall performance in the presently faltering HUD, which is performing at the 10% level that it did in the 90’s. Former HUD Secretaries Henry Cisneros and Jack Kemp did a study in 2009 which concluded that HUD should be stripped of it fair housing enforcement because of its lack of performance.
Thank you for your kind note to Carol on 12/20/12 wishing her well. My wife treasurers your kind words. Carol’s health has gotten much worse and she is unable to do anymore public speaking on preventing elder abuse and fraud. We now write a daily Facebook and Newspaper Articles trying to protect seniors and trying to get better senior protection laws passed. We have a huge following and have received national recognition for being Elder Justice Advocates.
We would appreciate any support you may give us to finally receive the Justice we deserve.
Sincerely,
Mark R. Fairall

FALSE ADVERTISING BY A PLACE FOR MOM AT SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE - ELDER ABUSE OF JOANNE WEINKAUF-DONOVAN

 
 
 
INTERNET POSTING:  FEBRUARY 21, 2014
 
Article: 2
 
THE NEW ELDER CARE
REFERRAL AGENCY PROBLEM
By: Mark and Carol Fairall
 
 
Our Elder Abuse prevention article "The New Elder Care Referral Agency (ECRA) Problem" was printed by AARP on 11/25/12. The article details the new telemarketing industry calls to seniors in order to place them in senior living facilities. The IC3 (FBI Internet Fraud) reports that seniors lose $264 million a year on false Internet advertising. The elderly are desired targets of telemarketing crooks. 
 
ECRA INFORMATION

ECRAs are not free because the senior living facility pays an average of $3,500 per person if the senior decides to live in the place that the ECRA referred. This raises the cost of the senior living facilities expenses which is passed on with higher rent cost. The ECRA telemarketers call the senior housing facility kickback a "Bounty". Washington State is the only state that has the ECRA REGULATION LAW that protects seniors.

ECRAs provide senior living facilities 30% to 50% of the leads for marketing to senior living facilities. Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) relies heavily of ECRAs and misuses it by stating it is an licensed assisted living facility which is a lie. Seniors who use the Internet from all over the United States and the World are mislead by SGRV's internet advertising. Arizona does not have the Unlicensed Assisted Living Facility Law which would allow the Arizona Department of Health Services the legal ability to regulate and close dangerous imposter assisted living facilities.

The 20 SGRV owners are desperate since it has a very low occupancy rate in its 86 units of a little over 34%. SGRV's low occupancy is caused because the SGRV property is dangerous because it is dilapidated and full of toxic mold. The SGRV owners have just fired Karl Nunley and Susan Nunley from managing the property. SGRV was previously managed by the senior living management company SENIORITY INC (a subsidiary of American Baptist Homes of the West -ABHOW). SGRV fired Scott Green in August, 2012, who managed property since 2005. Scott Green was convicted in 2005 of Medicare Fraud. The SGRV's owners continue to use false Internet advertising and  the following Internet Sites falsely advertise that SGRV is an assisted living facility are:

1.  A Place for Mom
2.  PACE (People Access Community Education)
3.  Senior Advisor.com
4.  Wellness.com
5.  Senior Living.org

TOXIC MOLD AT SGRV

ANOTHER DUPED ELDER AT SGRV
Joanne Weinkauf-Donovan
 
 
Joanne Weinkauf-Donovan, a 72-year old senior with dementia, was recently duped by A PLACE FOR MOM because she was told by them and SGRV's management that SGRV was a licensed assisted living facility. Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan just had to move to a real licensed assisted living home to meet her medical needs. Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan's SGRV apartment burned and all her belongings were destroyed. SGRV has made no effort to refund any of her money because of their false advertising. SGRV has made no effort to replace any of her furniture and clothing that were lost in the SGRV fire.


It is interesting to disclosed that after the fire in Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan apartment that SGRV moved her to the SGRV apartment #1027. Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan, her daughter Tonia Chambers, and Glenn Chambers used the SGRV apartment #1027 for several weeks while they relocated Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan to a real assisted living home. Ms. Chambers has told me that the SGRV #1027 smelled and they are all sick from what ever was in the apartment. I informed Ms. Chambers that the SGRV apartment #1027 was Carol's, my wife,  former apartment. I had the SGRV apartment #1027 tested for toxic mold in October, 2009. The mold report showed that the SGRV apartment #1027 was full of TOXIC BLACK MOLD.

That was the SGRV apartment #1027 that started Carol's transplanted liver rejection and killed our three dogs due to liver cancer. SGRV told Ms. Chambers that SGRV never had Toxic Mold which is simply more lies.
 
A PLACE FOR MOM and SGRV made a lot of money scamming Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan. Ms. Chambers just got a bill from SGRV.
 
The SGRV owners are:
 
1.  NOT taking any responsibility for the SGRV fire,
2.  NOT replacing Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan's  destroyed belongings,
3.  IGNORING their false advertising crimes,
4.  COULD CARELESS that Ms. Weinkauf-Donovan's family is very ill from the  SGRV TOXIC MOLD EXPOSURE.

Arizona Lawmakers Failed to Pass the Unlicensed Assisted Living Facility Law - Seniors are at RISK!


Internet Posting:  February 14, 2014

Article: 1

 
IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE IN
ARIZONA’S LEADERSHIP
 
The Arizona Lawmakers that were elected to represent the Sun Cities Areas are not making Elder Abuse Prevention a priority.

Rep. Debbie Lesko wants to pull monies from the financially strapped public school systems to pay for private schools. Rep. Rick Gray wants his legislative term expanded from two years to four years. Rep. Phil Lovas wants the usage of unapproved drugs for the terminally ill. Not one of the six lawmakers in our senior retirement area (Murphy, Burgess, Gray, Lesko, Lovas, and Livingston) have expressed any interest or introduced any new legislation of our purposed senior protection laws.

We have introduced bills that would make stronger laws against Elder Abuse and Fraud for three previous sessions with no success. The current session we have introduced the following purposed laws, which would:  make elder abuse a felony hate crime law, require caregiver background checks, give greater authority to the Department of Health Services to regulate senior living imposters, allow triple damage awards for senior frauds, and impose penalties for authorities who fail to protect the elderly and vulnerable.

But no one is listening.

Arizona is in trouble with: unemployment 1% higher than the national average, extremely excessive high school dropout rates with one out of four students failing to graduate, the worst child hunger rate in the United States with one out of four children not receiving adequate food, the third worst state in education funding which leads to students being shortchanged and failing to graduate from college; and failing to properly protect the vulnerable.

The Sun City Areas lawmakers are failing to represent their elder constituents from elder abuse and fraud with stronger senior protection laws.

Arizona is in trouble. It time to elect new lawmakers that don’t just care about their own “pet projects,” but to “properly serve” their constituents and the Arizona public.

“STATE LAWMAKERS FAILING TO PROTECT SENIORS”

 
 
FALSE ARIZONA SENIOR HOUSING
ADVERTISING GOES UNREGULATED
 
COMMENTS: It was three years ago on 02/14/11 that Carol and I presented the Unlicensed Assisted Living Facility (UALF) Law to the Arizona House Ways and Means Committee. The Arizona Department of Health Services appeared with us and wanted this loophole closing law to protect seniors from dangerous impostor senior living facilities. The needed UALF law was ignored and the false advertising crimes at Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) continues to exist unregulated. 
 
The 72-year old senior Joanne Weinkauf-Donavan was just duped by A PLACE FOR MOM when she was told SGRV was a licensed assisted living facility but that was a lie. Ms. Weinkauf-Donavan has just moved into a real licensed assisted living facility because of her health needs. Ms. Weinkauf-Donavan had a fire in her SGRV apartment and lost everything. She nearly died but the Arizona Press ignored the very sad story and all the illegal activities at SGRV, such as an impostor nurse.
 
 
The Arizona Senior Housing Guided PACE is the bible in the senior housing industry and is available in churches and libraries. SGRV still falsely advertises in PACE that it is an assisted living facility.
 
The state lawmakers have done nothing in the past four years to stop this scam against the elderly.
