Elder Financial Abuse:
-
- Approximately one in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse. Some estimates range as high as five million elders who are abused each year. One study estimated that only one in 24 cases of abuse are reported to authorities. Offering elder education empowers this vulnerable demographic to take charge of their financial decisions and arm them with the resources they need. Staying healthy and financially secure as you age can be a challenge. Get the information and tools you need to manage your money, maintain your health, and improve your life.
