Upcoming Live Chats with Alzheimer's Experts

 

In conjunction with the Alzheimer's training workshops and network-wide emphasis on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias during Alzheimer's Awareness Month in November, we will hold a series of four Live Chats led by Alzheimer's and caregiving experts to address questions from family caregivers.

Each chat will begin with a brief video documenting one family's personal experience with the chat's topic of discussion. Then an expert will address questions submitted by the attendees. Registration will take place at HelpForAlzheimersFamilies.com starting on October 19.

The Impact Fraud Can Have on Seniors: Protect Seniors from Fraud (2 of 5)

Mary Alexander from Home Instead Senior Care® talks about why seniors become targets of scams and the impact of this fraud.

A number factors increase a senior's risk of being victimized, including isolation, loneliness, loss, physical or mental disabilities, difficulties dealing with financial matters and having a family member who is unemployed and or has a substance abuse problem.

Understanding these causes and characteristics of senior fraud can help you to help prevent your senior from becoming a victim of these horrible crimes.
