Description
Fei Sun and co-authors ran a pilot trial in 2024 to shield older adults with dementia in rural Michigan from financial exploitation. Dementia raises the risk of money abuse by relatives and fraud by strangers. Family caregivers can be either a risk or a guard. The trial gave all caregivers an education session; the treatment group also got six sessions of tailored case management.
Caregivers in the treatment group grew more confident in handling exploitation and held less stigma about dementia. Stress fell in both groups with no clear gap. Knowledge and attitudes did not differ by group. The authors highlight caregivers as a protective shield worth supporting through policy and practice.
