A Must-see 2012 Release on Financial Elder Abuse

“Of all the illegal and illicit enterprises in the world, elder exploitation is among the safest and most profitable. It’s a criminal’s dream….” – From the DVD

The video documents two hard-to-forget stories of exploitation:

Producer Pamela S. K. Glasner shares how her parents’ life savings were embezzled by a man who insinuated himself into their lives, and her attempts to set things right.

(“As far as I know, this man waltzed into a nursing home, walked up to a man who was cognitively impaired, and said, ‘Here, sign this’, and that’s it. The next thing I know, this man’s got control over my dad’s money.”)

Hollywood icon, Mickey Rooney, tells how he lost millions of dollars through a trusted family member.

(“I hope people that will see this will say, ‘Gosh, if it can happen to Mickey Rooney, it can happen to anybody’.”)

A must-see resource for seniors, family members, and service providers in all disciplines and walks of life.

Self Neglect: What We Can Learn from the Mary Northern Case

Putting a human face on one of the most complex and important self-neglect cases of our time, this new DVD introduces us to Mary Northern--a 72 year old woman with gangrene in her lower legs, who refuses surgery, insisting her legs were just dirty. It documents her early life and accomplishments, lists the known facts of the case when first reported to Adult Protective Services, and provides a progression on the case and the subsequent interventions. Through the presentations of several expert panelists, the video delves into the tough issues of capacity and competence, and provides an informative look at the ethical, legal, social, financial, and mental health concerns involved in serving the best interests of vulnerable older adults. The accompanying Teaching and Discussion Guide serves as a springboard to a multidisciplinary dialogue that addresses a myriad of preventive and applicable interventions possible in cases of extreme self-neglect.
