Preventing Senior Financial Abuse and Fraud at Atria Senior Living Burlington

Join us for a conversation about elder financial abuse and the impact it can have on older adults and their families with author, advocate who will be leading an important conversation about elder financial abuse and its impact on older adults and their families. 

Carole Appleton’s first book is based on her journey uncovering elder financial abuse of her grandmother.  This powerful story pulls back the curtain on elder financial abuse, family conflict, and the hidden costs of greed. When Gramma’s final wishes were derailed by those who claimed to care for her, the family was left to untangle a web of lies, legal battles, and heartbreak. Betrayal of Trust is more than a family's story—it's a cautionary tale and a call to awareness. Blending raw honesty with lessons learned, this book shines a light on the importance of vigilance, resilience, and protecting the legacies our loved ones worked so hard to leave behind. If you've ever faced betrayal, fought for justice, or carried the weight of protecting someone you love, this book will remind you that even in the fog, there is truth-and even in loss, there can be legacy. Carole’s mission is help people recognize the signs, ask the hard questions, or have the uncomfortable conversations about future care and financial protection. No one deserves to be taken advantage of in their final years and no family should have to fight this battle alone. Carole will share her own powerful story of betrayal, resilience, and the legal battle she endured after her grandmother, became a victim of financial exploitation.  Her experience is both eye-opening and inspiring, and I believe many families will find her insights incredibly valuable. As our guest, you will also receive a complimentary autographed copy of her book.
