“Preventing Senior Scams”

Program: The way con games are played may change over time, but the practice of defrauding consumers is nothing new. When the target is an older adult, however, the stakes have never been higher. Senior scams can cost older adults everything from their life savings, to their homes, to even their lives. The growing incidence of senior fraud is putting many older adults in harm’s way, threatening to strip them of their assets, independence and trust. This web seminar will examine the ins and outs of senior scams, as well as explaining the most common scams. It will also offer real-world advice on preventing and reporting scams against older adults.

Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist, caregiver advocate for Home Instead Senior Care

Presented by: American Society on Aging and  Home Instead Senior Care

“Research Summit on Dementia Care: Building Evidence for Services and Supports”

Program:   Livestream of 2017 National Research Summit on Care, Services and Supports for Persons with Dementia and Their Caregivers. A live webcast of the Research Summit being held at the National Institutes of Health  (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, on Monday and Tuesday, October 16-17, 2017. The goal of this research summit is to identify what is known and what will need to be known in order to accelerate the development, evaluation, translation, implementation, and scaling up of comprehensive care, services, and supports for persons with dementia, families, and other caregivers. The summit is focused on research that is needed to improve quality of person- and family-centered care and outcomes across care settings, including quality of life and the lived experience of persons with dementia and their caregivers. The term ‘caregivers’ refers to family members, neighbors, friends, fictive kin, and formal, paid caregivers.
