THE PROBLEM: A national crisis with seniors losing up to $36 billion a year to financial fraud

Without the right support, individuals suffering from physical or cognitive impairments become prime targets for financial fraud, a very real type of elder abuse.

Studies as recent as 2015 suggest financial fraud among the elderly may cost seniors as much as $36 billion a year. Loss of economic resources can be devastating, and especially post-retirement given the limited if any, replacement income. Financial gerontologists warn of senior economic abuse impacting adult children, and even taxpayers, as much as, if not more so, than the actual fraud victim. With their economic security gone, someone has to provide the food, shelter, and medical care the senior can no longer purchase themselves. Dreams of seeing the world, or sharing a legacy with children and grandchildren, can evaporate without a financial coordinator monitoring bank accounts and assets.

Think forward, live in the moment

Does this surprise you?

If you’re caring for a senior loved one, you’re probably overseeing their money, too.

A recent financial industry report revealed the primary task for those helping seniors with daily money activities is paying bills (65%), followed by monitoring bank accounts (53%), handling insurance claims (47%), filing taxes (41%), and managing investments (21%).

Most of us who are physically and mentally healthy manage to pay our bills, keep up with our mail, and handle our daily financial tasks on our own. For others, the basic financial organization isn’t so easy…

A generally healthy, 80-year old man who, although a little forgetful at times, is frequently upset trying to complete daily financial tasks in today’s online banking environment.

A woman in her early 70s loses her husband. She’s forced to take over the finances, despite her reduced mobility and slightly impaired cognitive function due to early stage Parkinson’s disease.

A stroke survivor in his mid-60s insists on managing his own finances, notwithstanding his short-term memory loss and increasing inability to remember conversational topics.

  • Have you suddenly and unexpectedly become a financial caregiver for someone you love?

  • Have you noticed suspicious money activities in a senior loved one’s accounts?

  • Do you see signs an elderly relative, or senior friend, might need help with their daily money management tasks?

  • Are you fighting the consequences of senior financial fraud?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, meet Baker Daily Money Management…
