Seminar to discuss senior citizen financial abuse

Hattiesburg, MS – Wanda Murphy will discuss ways to avoid senior citizen financial abuse at Wesley Medical Center’s Senior Circle monthly seminar Friday, January 21, in the Evergreen Room at the hospital.

Murphy, a registered nurse, is a representative with Home Instead Senior Care, a non-medical home care agency that provides service and support to senior citizens.

A conservative estimate shows that seniors average an annual loss of $2.6 billion from schemes and financial exploitation. Most cases, however, often go unreported. This amount is predicted to drastically increase as the nation continues to age.

Friday’s free seminar will offer advice and education to seniors to help avoid these situations.
