Scam and Technology Awareness Classes for Seniors
Let’s join forces to keep seniors informed, safe, and protected from scams—because every older adult deserves peace of mind and the confidence to navigate today’s world.
Senior Scams on the Rise
Huge increase in reported losses:
In 2024, older Americans (60+) reported nearly $4.9 billion stolen through fraud — a 43 % jump from the year before — and submitted more complaints than any other age group, with over 147,000 reports filed.
Complaints from older adults jumped significantly
The number of elder fraud complaints filed with the FBI increased by 14 % in 2023, showing scams aren’t slowing down — they’re increasing.
Imposter scams continue to climb:
Federal Trade Commission data shows reports of older adults losing at least $10,000 to imposter scams jumped 362 % from 2020 to 2024, with total losses by those victims growing over fivefold.
Providing scam‑awareness education for residents and staff is a smart, proactive choice for senior living facilities. Not only does it help protect residents from increasingly sophisticated financial fraud, but it also equips staff with the knowledge to recognize and prevent exploitation. Implementing these programs demonstrates a commitment to resident safety, fosters trust, and strengthens the facility’s overall reputation, making it a clear best practice for both resident wellbeing and organizational responsibility.
How We Support You
Safer, Informed Residents
Seniors will be better prepared to avoid scams, protecting their savings and personal information. Fewer scam victims means less financial and emotional distress among the residents.
Confident & Independent Living
With new skills and knowledge, residents gain confidence to manage phone calls, emails, and online activities independently. This boosts their self-esteem and maintains their independence.
Engaging Educational Activity
The class is interactive and fun, providing an enjoyable learning experience. It’s a valuable addition to your activities calendar that residents (and their families) will appreciate for its real-life importance.
Peace of Mind for Families and Staff
When residents are scam-aware, families and facility staff can relax knowing that loved ones are safer from predators. This peace of mind strengthens trust in your community.
Reputation for Excellence
Offering proactive safety education showcases your commitment to resident well-being. It enhances your community’s reputation as a caring, forward-thinking organization that goes the extra mile to keep seniors safe.
