Abstract
With the aging of the baby boomers, there is a concern over the likelihood of an increase in reported cases of perpetrators of financial abuse of elders residing in San Bernardino County as reported by Adult Protective Services (APS). This study included 201 confirmed financial abuse cases(data from the San Bernardino Department of Aging and Adult Services) for the period of January 13-December 19, 2005 in the high desert areas. It is the hope that this study will encourage representatives from APS, law enforcement and the Ombudsman Program to look for solutions and develop effective training programs that will help indentify the early signs of financial abuse.
