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.
