Our program to help seniors

In charge of your life and your property

Desjardins launched the "In Charge of Your Life and Your Property" program to help curtail financial exploitation of the elderly. Because one case is already too many, Desjardins wants to prevent anyone with dubious intentions, often a relative of the victim, from improperly using money or property belonging to an elderly person.

To help the elderly get out of what can often be a nightmarish situation, Desjardins caisses, in collaboration with community organizations, have implemented a strategy to help detect and address abusive situations experienced by elderly persons who are victims of this phenomenon. A flier describing the program is available in participating caisses.

Caisse personnel can now act as a bridge between victims and support organizations, always with the strictest confidence. Persons concerned will simply need to overcome their fear and break the silence by calling upon those who can come to their assistance.
