Protecting Vulnerable Seniors: Dementia and the Risk of Financial Fraud

Join us for an insightful webcast exploring how individuals living with dementia can become targets of financial fraud. We’ll discuss common scams, warning signs to watch for, and practical steps caregivers and families can take to safeguard their loved ones’ assets. Claire Webster will be joined by Kimberley Colquhoun, Assistant Director of the City of Westmount’s Public Safety where, throughout her 25-year career, she has been involved in projects directed at improving public safety and community engagement. In 2017, she helped create two new seniors’ programs to support the elderly within the community.

Ms. Colquhoun will discuss some of the current scams and frauds that are targeting seniors and provide some tips to avoid becoming a victim.

This free webcast is available in English.
