BMK Offers Aged Care Advice to Prevent Elder Abuse

(MoneyNewsWire.Net, March 09, 2016 ) Newcastle -- Brad Lonergan, the esteemed financial planning expert based in Newcastle, continues his efforts in preventing elder abuse by encouraging senior citizens and their families into agreeing into a solid financial plan as early as possible. Through his company BMK Financial Services, he offers aged care financial planning advice that keeps other people from taking advantage of the elderly as they begin to lose their mental capacity.
"Providing proper aged care services isn't just about making sure that the elderly citizen's health and grooming are all maintained properly," insists Lonergan, who has spent 15 years in the financial services industry. "The Aged Care Advice Newcastle families often need are all about finances."
The abuse of the elderly can come in many forms, and it often goes beyond physical or emotional abuse. In some cases, the abuse is about misusing the money of the elderly. It is also common for some people, including family relatives, to steal from the elderly outright.
"I'm personally disgusted whenever these things occur, but unfortunately it's becoming more common," says Lonergan. "It's one of the reasons I'm so adamant that the elderly should protect themselves from this kind of abuse by having a solid financial plan."
This kind of protection involves the assistance of an adviser who can be trusted to oversee an elderly person's finances. The assistance may also involve legal help so that binding legal agreements can be put in place while the elderly still retains their mental faculties
