Protect Seniors From Fraud Seminar

Members of the community are invited to participate in a free seminar to educate families and seniors about how to protect themselves from scammers who may be targeting seniors with a variety of clever cons that could jeopardize not only their life savings but their independence. Detective Taylor Bell of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department will share his safety tips at the Athens Community Council on Aging.

The Protect Seniors from Fraud program – developed by Home Instead Senior Care® and the nonprofit National Association of Triads – provides family caregivers with a number of important tools, including a Criminal Target Scale, which can help family caregivers assess how likely their senior is to be the potential target of a scam.

“We’re pleased to provide the tools to help family caregivers as well as seniors ward off increasingly cunning con artists and their elaborate schemes to defraud local adults,” said Robert Clark, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care® office serving Athens and the surrounding northeast counties of Georgia. A Senior Fraud Protection Kit is available from the local franchise office.

Light refreshments will be served. For additional information or to RSVP, please call 706-613-2283 or email janeg@homeinstead.com.
