What is the impact of financial exploitation?
Financial exploitation can have far reaching effects. Seniors can be devastated by the loss of even small amounts of money, and may even lose their ability to live on their own. In the case of financial abuse, what is equally devastating is the loss of trust in someone they depended upon. The stress of financial abuse and economic crime can have immediate and long lasting physical and emotional effect. This can include depression and it can even lead to death from health problems or suicide.
