📣 At Seniors ASAP Trust, we regularly support people who are caring for their ageing loved ones. Carer burnout is a significant risk, and when carers are unsupported, there is an increased risk of unintentional abuse and/or neglect. Being informed about available services, and having access to systems that support both older people and their carers, is essential to maintaining safety, wellbeing, and quality of life. 😊

There is an insightful podcast on the Eldernet website called 'Caring for Aging Parents: What you need to know with Esther Perriam', it's well worth listening to 🙌

We would also like to note that an Enduring Power of Attorney can be established in several different ways, each with varying costs. In addition, there is no cost to file (submit) an application to the Court made under the PPPR Act.

Browse our extensive and trusted directory of services related to older people. Including a database of community groups, organisations, home services, rest homes, retirement villages, residential care, private hospitals, dementia care and elderly services.

Abuse and neglect of older vulnerable adults may not always be visible. Ensuring their safety and well-being requires strong professional collaboration and a community that understands the intervention options available for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Seniors ASAP Trust is proud to contribute to the increasing knowledge of those within our community who want to increase their understanding and ability in this area.

It was a move that made Johan de Rooy's family suspicious, so they took the case to court.

This is an awful situation - take care out there everyone!

Whangārei Police are urging the public to be alert to fraudsters targeting trusting members of the community for their money.

An investigation is in the early stages after an elderly couple had tens of thousands of dollars taken from accounts over the weekend.

Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer, Whangārei Area Investigations Manager, says the couple were contacted about replacing their banking cards.

“The fraudster has managed to convince them into providing pin numbers and leaving their eftpos cards in the mailbox for collection,” he says.

“Sadly, over the weekend tens of thousands of dollars has been taken out of their accounts. "

Police received a report on Monday, which is now under investigation.

Detective Senior Sergeant Pilmer is calling on the community to be extremely vigilant.

“It’s appalling behaviour where trusting members of the community have been deceived to the point their hard-earned money is being taken.

“The last thing we need right now is other people in the community falling victim to this offending.

“I’m asking families and neighbours to check in on each other, please be aware that this happening.”

Police advise anyone who is contacted in these circumstances by potential scammers to not engage.

Hang up and never hand over personal or banking details, Detective Senior Sergeant Pilmer says.

“The authorities and banks will never call you asking to hand over banking details.

“If you’re contacted, hang up immediately and instead contact the bank yourself.”

Police would also like to hear from anyone who may have been contacted in these circumstances, or who has handed over bank cards in these circumstances.

You can make a report online or call 105.
