Financial fraud among older individuals is responsible for nearly three billions dollars in personal loss each year. A recent article in the New York Times confirms that longer lives and increased years of retirements will result in even more financial fraud.

Taking prescribed medicine seems like a no-brainer. The instructions are right on the packaging and you create a habit of taking it at the same time every day- perhaps with a meal. That certainly is manageable for someone who takes one pill daily and needs no reminders.

How do you know if your parents need help? Sometimes it's very obvious-- and can begin with a dire medical event such as stroke or fall. For others it's a more lengthy but clear downward path that may be as a result of an early diagnosis of cognitive impairement. And for many it's not clear and we don't often recognize more subtle signs, and don't recognize that a few seemingly scattered minor events may be related and a sign that the need for assistance or at least recognition may be imminent.

Nearly 90% of dementia cases exhibit behavioral changes such as apathy, agitation, anxiety, delusions, and to a lesser degree hallucinations. Managing these behaviors is difficult and stressful for family members to resolve and heartbreaking to witness.

Imagine having just the meals you want, prepared just the way you like, without having to do any of the shopping, cooking, or clean-up. Now, imagine having all this in the convenience of your own home. Sounds too good to be true? It's not.

The holidays are often the only time of year when the extended family gets together, and those occasions offer you and your siblings an opportunity to check on your parents well-being and discuss your observations together. Do they seem more forgetful or confused? Are they frailer than the last time you saw them? Have they lost too much weight?

So many seniors live in areas where there is inadequate public transportation, or they need assistance or special accommodation to get from one place to another. The resulting isolation and loneliness can contribute to depression and a decline in vitality.
