"Elder financial fraud is as common in the older population as heart disease." Surprising and compelling comparison by @DrJudySalerno as we get started on #FinancialElderAbuse panel here at #FinancialWellnessNYC – at New York, NY
"Without accounting for long-term care costs, 70-80% of people will actually be OK financially. But if those long-term care costs do arise, that number drops to around 50%." @jasonkarlawish #HealthandWealth #FinancialWellnessNYC

"Financial literacy predicts being a victim of elder abuse or fraud...if I was a firm, I'd find that very interesting, with clients giving me a hint of what's coming down the road." Fantastic translation of research into robust insights by @jasonkarlawish #FinancialWellnessNYC – at New York, NY
We're expecting caregiving to figure prominently in upcoming #FinancialElderAbuse session at #FinancialWellnessNYC Symposium. No doubt caregivers have a crucial role in #ElderScamPrevention. Looking forward to hearing about how caregivers can support
Drew Holzapfel, ReACT Coalition Convener, just paneled at #FinancialWellnessNYC Symposium. Caregiving truly brings together the #HealthAndWealth theme - consider caregiver health outcomes, planning financially for long-term care, or even caregivers seeking financial/legal advice
Drew Holzapfel during "Workplace Change" panel at today's #FinancialWellnessNYC Symposium gave us all a crucial homework assignment: check out ReACT "Best Practices" doc on giving employees time and space for caregiving...and implement it in your org!
