For the past few years, we have all heard about scams, spam, and hacks. We constantly hear about identity theft. Here in Central Ohio, another type of scam has reached critical levels – the financial exploitation of older adults.
In this episode, we're going to hear more about this issue and how we can protect our vulnerable seniors. We welcome from the Franklin Office on Aging, Orvell Johns, Director of the Agency, and Caroline Rankin, Assistant Director of Support Services.
Our primary message in this episode is defining, pinpointing, and reporting presumed cases of financial exploitation. Director Johns defines financial exploitation for us and describes the extent of this crime in Central Ohio.
FCOA has a campaign through adult protective services to fight the financial exploitation of seniors. Caroline goes over more details on this campaign
What are the signs which may be evident? How do we report such cases? What is the process of reporting?
And then to close out the episode, Director Johns talks about 2022 projects underway at Franklin County Office on Aging.
We would love to hear from you.
