Paul Greenwood
Topics: Paul’s topics are based on 20 years of prosecuting felony elder abuse cases in California and include:
Greenwood will share tips on elder abuse prevention for people of all ages, how to reduce the risk of elder abuse culled from his extensive criminal prosecution of felony elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. He has been quoted as saying “Education and awareness are essential components of an effective elder abuse program. As a prosecutor I must not simply be reactive — but be proactive and reach out to the community of seniors to help them understand how easy it is to become a victim and how to take steps to lessen the risk.”
“My inspiration comes from my parents,” Greenwood said. “My mother is 91 years old, a former English high school teacher and a survivor of the London Blitz in World War II. My father died last December aged 92; he was my hero — a former B-25 bomber pilot who went on 79 bombing missions over Europe and who was shot down over the Adriatic Sea. He died after a 12 year battle with Alzheimer’s.”
- Overcoming barriers to successful investigation and prosecution of criminal elder abuse case
- Developing a strong community multi disciplinary approach to combatting elder abuse
- Intended audiences are typically law enforcement, APS, medical & financial institutions, and other prosecutorial agencies.

Carrie Jones
Topics:
Carrie’s family informed her that they were unable to reach her 88 year- old great uncle, who resided in California at the time. After walking up and down the halls of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities (approximately 30 in total), she finally found him in a nursing home a few weeks later. His first words to her were “I was beginning to think no one would find me in here”. At that moment she decided to drop everything and help him. She was horrified when he told her about the abuse he had suffered. She had no other option but to educate herself about elder abuse, which she diligently pursued.
Carrie now works for an attorney and dedicates her spare time to raise awareness about elder abuse. Some of her accomplishments include speaking to Rotary Clubs, local hospitals, and doing radio/print interviews. In 2016, Carrie was asked to be on the board of directors of the Kasem Cares Foundation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to support victims and survivors of elder abuse, and change legislation.
“I reached out to Kerri Kasem on her public Facebook page after watching her story play out in the media. Sadly, our stories were similar. I knew that Kerri’s voice would be heard louder than mine because of her influence. Now, I am beyond blessed to have found an extended family with Kasem Cares. I am encouraged to fight every day, because of the people who share their stories with us. You are not alone. We WILL change the way that our beloved elders are treated!”
