Advanced technology can be hard for many seniors to keep up with, and they may be viewed as naive or gullible. To top it all off, con artists target elders knowing that they may be lonely, longing for purpose in life, and are more trusting of and willing to help younger people.&nbsp; You may be surprised to learn that more than 90 percent of all reported elder abuse is actually perpetrated by a senior&rsquo;s very own family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seniorliving.org\/research\/common-elderly-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to read more about common scams and fraud tactics that target the elderly. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Citizen Services Senior Center The Boyne Area Senior Center is a beautiful facility which is open to the public for daily lunches.
