Aging and the Impact of Cognitive Impairment on Retirement: How to Detect it and What to Do for Your Clients

Approximately 25% of adults aged 65 and older are living with either Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer’s disease/related dementias. Thus, a significant portion of your older clients are at risk of financial exploitation and loss of financial autonomy due to cognitive impairment. Financial advisors can play a key role in protecting their clients from these circumstances. This webinar will provide a primer on how cognitive function changes across the adult lifespan, how to differentiate between typical age-related cognitive decline and dementia, lifestyle behaviors that help maintain good cognitive function and reduce dementia risk, how to detect financial elder abuse, and steps that can be taken if a client shows signs of cognitive impairment. Testimonial: “Excellent information and resources to apply the information.”
