Video produced in 1991 by the Manitoba Seniors Directorate. Four scenarios involving the financial exploitation of an older person in which the victim turns the potentially dangerous situation around and takes control : a roofing expert gains access to a home, a son attempts to obtain power of attorney, a granddaughter short changes her grandparent, and a scene that illustrates the danger of keeping money at home. 1, record 6, English, - Standing%20Up%20For%20Yourself

Vidéo produit en 1991 par la Direction générale des services aux personnes âgées du Manitoba. La vidéo cassette comprend quatre séquences où est dépeinte l'exploitation financière dont peuvent être victimes les personnes du troisième âge. Des personnes âgées qui démasquent un couvreur voulant s'introduire chez elles, un fils qui essaie de soutirer une procuration, une petite-fille qui ne rend pas la monnaie exacte et le danger de garder de l'argent à la maison. Cependant, les personnes âgées finissent par tirer leur épingle du jeu et par reprendre la situation en main. 1, record 6, French, - La%20force%20de%20s%27affirmer

Video produced in 1985 by Mobius Media Corporation, Rexdale, Ontario. This short drama is about the emotional abuse and neglect of the elderly. Locked in her room day after day, a woman who lives with her son and his family whiles away her time watching television. Except for an occasional visit from her granddaughter, she is virtually ignored. The daughter-in-law resents having to put aside her career plans to take care of her husband's mother and wants to place her in a nursing home. The granddaughter, upset about growing domestic conflict and the treatment her grandmother is receiving, implores hers parents to get professional counselling. A discussion-starter on the problem of abuse of the elderly. 1, record 7, English, - The%20Silence%20Upstairs
