WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Williamstown Commons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is hosting a free informational seminar, “The Growing Epidemic of Financial Elder Abuse,” presented by Attorney James Sisto, an expert in elder law. The event is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., Thursday, May 21 at Williamstown Commons, 25 Adams Road, Williamstown.
The seminar will provide insight on several issues and information, including an explanation of elder financial abuse, forms of elder abuse, scam artists, dangers of joint accounts, dangers of power of attorney, reporting elder abuse and law enforcement of elder abuse.
“We encourage the public to come to this event for some important information on how to protect you and your loved ones from elder financial abuse,” said Joyce Brewer, administrator of Williamstown Commons. “Many people may be surprised that the perpetrators of these crimes are typically acquaintances of the victim, rather than a professional scam artist. Education is the best defense.”
