Protecting Our Seniors - Report Scams & Learn How To Fight Fraud

Stay Alert. Spot Scams. Stay Safe.

At The Laurel Senior Living, the well-being of our residents and their families is our highest priority. We are increasingly aware of the growing number of phone and text message scams that specifically target older adults — and we want to help.

Unfortunately, scammers often misuse trusted brand names to appear legitimate, and even though we can’t eliminate these threats entirely, we’re committed to doing our part to reduce them. That means raising awareness, sharing resources, and encouraging everyone in our community to stay informed and vigilant.

We believe that knowledge is power. That’s why we’re providing trusted tools and educational materials to help you recognize, avoid, and report fraudulent activity.

Together, we can build a safer environment for all older adults.
