Many family members don’t live close to their elderly parents. Being alone, seniors look for ways to subside the boredom. This makes some of them turn to lottery or sweepstakes. The Federal Trade Commission reported that over half of all the adults were involved in sweepstakes in the past year. While most are run by reputable organizers, some are run by people who just want to take advantage of those who are naive. Who doesn’t like fun? Elders even love it much more than any population category. Therefore, there is an increase in the number of seniors who put their money on the line to play and eventually get tricked. Worse still, many continue to invest their money time and time again.
Seniors should be protected from these scams if their children create more time for them, irrespective of their busy schedule. Aging parents are often left in a vulnerable position and their adult children need to take actions to correct this. So, as an adult child, what can you do to protect your parents from boredom and the realistic possibility of being scammed? Here is some advice you can use to stay closer to your aging parents and ensure that they get enough care.
You are the only one who knows how frequently you visit your parents. No matter the number of times you visit, you have to make an increase in that number. Despite the benefits of modern technology, there is no technology or amount of calls that can substitute an in-person visit.
It is not only good for you to see how your parents are faring; it is also good for them to see your face.
