Increasingly, we hear of more and more elders falling victim to
financial exploitation. Although this form of elder abuse has been
recognized for years, its incidence, prevalence, and impact on the
common individual has been only more recently brought to the
spotlight. Despite these circumstances, recognition of risk factors
and indicators of financial exploitation are not widely
disseminated. Additionally, once situations are identified and
confronted, the knowledge of what to do next is lacking. These gaps
are present within the medical community, law-enforcement, and the
finance community areas where opportunities for recognition and
intervention are common. Our elders often have no idea of what to
do when they see their own risk or when they fall victim. "Aging
and Money: Reducing Risk of Financial Exploitation and Protecting
Financial Resources "helps clinicians to integrate identification
of such indicators of abuse into their geriatric assessment as well
as guide them in performing an assessment of an individuals
financial decision making capacity when appropriate.
"Aging and Money: Reducing Risk of Financial Exploitation and
Protecting Financial Resources" is an essential new text that
provides the practicing clinician with information on identifying
risk factors and clinical clues associated with financial
exploitation and how to incorporate these steps into their
practice."
