| Annotation | In the US, professionals who work with older people have long recognised that individuals who are unable to manage their finances are at risk of impoverishment, homelessness or institutionalisation. More recent has been recognition of problems of exploitation by unscrupulous family members, acquaintances and predators. This manual describes daily money management (DMM) programs, which can assist people who have difficulty in managing their personal financial affairs, for example help with paying bills and dealing with taxes. It describes how programs are organised and administered, the potential role of DMM in preventing elder abuse and neglect, and the challenges organisations face in providing the service. Profiles are included of some model DMM programs in the US. The publication was produced under a contract with the Institute on Aging for the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA). (RH). |
