💙 $3,200 in Unwanted Purchases — Could This Be Happening to Someone You Love?
Recently, while helping a senior with everyday tasks, we discovered something surprising.
They had unknowingly signed up for automatic deliveries of nine different products. Over just three months, those subscriptions had resulted in more than $3,200 in purchases they never intended to make!
It's easier than you might think. A simple online purchase, a free trial, or a box that's accidentally checked can turn into recurring charges that go unnoticed for months.
Here's a helpful tip for anyone supporting an aging loved one:
Take a few minutes together to review online shopping accounts, recurring subscriptions, and bank or credit card statements. Look for unfamiliar charges, duplicate orders, or products arriving more frequently than needed.
Sometimes, a second set of eyes can make a world of difference.
At First Promise Care Services, we believe independence doesn't mean having to manage everything alone. Whether it's helping with technology, organizing household tasks, running errands, or simply noticing when something doesn't seem right, our Independent Senior Services are designed to make everyday life a little easier.
Because caring for someone isn't just about what they need help doing. It's also about looking out for the things they might not notice. 💙
