Ways abuse can happen
There are a number of ways that a senior can become a victim. These include:
Caregiver Abuse – A caregiver might seem great at first. They might attempt to gain the senior’s trust or the trust of family. Too often, elder abuse starts soon after. Some caregivers go into the profession just for access to seniors that they wish to exploit. Others simply resort to criminal, physical abuse.
Funeral Costs – Planning for a loved one is never easy. Too often, unscrupulous planners take advantage of grieving seniors and either charge unfair prices or send inflated bills.
Bank Fraud – Scammers have all kinds of ways to call or email and ask for account information. They might pretend to be a credit card company or a bank representative. In some cases, they pretend to be a relative in order to gain access to a senior’s bank account.
Making Promises – Scammers often promise that their intended victim has won something. This might be a large amount of money or a vacation. They’ll ask the senior to pay some money that they claim is a processing fee. Seniors are vulnerable to elder abuse when they desperately need funds, and they want to believe the promises that others make.
Family Members – Unfortunately, senior abuse isn’t limited to strangers. In fact, family members are all too often the cause of abuse and exploitation. This can occur in a number or ways, and it can often be subtle. Family members can abuse senior relatives physically as well as financially.
