Keep up with who’s in their life
Sadly, 9 times out of 10, when a vulnerable senior adult has been taken advantage of, it’s by someone they know, as this sad story proves. There are many people your senior loved one will come in contact with on a daily basis. It’s important to know who these people are and how your loved one is feeling about them. You can help protect them from anyone- known or unknown- by taking these steps:
- Keep valuables locked up and out of sight.
- Ask questions on a regular basis about who they’re engaging with and how they feel about them.
- Make sure businesses and organizations who are sending services to your home are doing their part to screen employees who may interact with your loved one.
