June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month. đź’ś
Financial exploitation of older adults often doesn’t begin with theft—it begins with trust, manipulation, isolation, and undue influence. Friends, family members, caregivers, and others in positions of trust can gradually gain control over an elderly person’s finances and decisions without the victim realizing what is happening.
Learn the warning signs. Start the conversation. Help protect the seniors in our community.
If you suspect elder abuse or financial exploitation, report it to Adult Protective Services or local law enforcement.
