From the National Institute of Health List Serve:
Utah is pleased to release the new Cost of Financial Exploitation Study on
Utah Elders. This new study calculates the cost of exploitation to seniors, the
State, and financial institutions in 2010. The study finds a 50% increase
in the cost of financial exploitation from 2008. The average victim in Utah is
exploited out of $85,253. If the victim has dementia/organic brain disorder
that average loss increases to $128,288.
