Elder Financial Abuse is growing faster than ever, with new scams popping up daily. The banking community is reaching out to their local areas to see what they can do to help right now. One benefit to those quarantined in senior facilities is that individual access to the Senior Sentry training video is completely online. Banks can sponsor facilities near them, or anywhere in the U.S., so that everyone in that facility can have completely remote, online access to quality training on how to protect against elder financial exploitation. The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation, in cooperation with the banking industry, has prepared a 30 minute educational and informative video that will give valuable information to combat this important problem. They’ll learn:
Types of financial abuse, common scams and schemes
How it occurs
Who are likely targets, and also likely abusers
Warning signs that a senior may be getting financially exploited
Tactics to help seniors avoid this type of fraud
And what to do if it does happen
Reach out to contact the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation at 800-529-9096 or [email protected] to learn more.
