By Jaclyn Pogoloff, AIG Life & Retirement

NEW YORK, NY (MPG) - World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations. The purpose of WEAAD is to provide an opportunity for commu- nities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic pro- cesses affecting elder abuse and neglect. According to research from AIG Life & Retirement, almost half (47%) of seniors 65 or older manage their finances – from paying bills to handling invest- ments – entirely on their own. As a result, many seniors leave them- selves at risk to financial abuse, whether through financial scams perpetrated by strangers or finan- cial exploitation conducted by Families should consider having conversations as early as possible.
