Program Costs and Results

FREE

A facility that has 51% or more Medicaid certified residents or 51% or more low- to moderate-income residents may have all their programming sponsored by a local bank.

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977 requires banks to enhance the lives of low- to moderate-income citizens in their communities in a variety of ways. Banking regulators have approved banks’ participation with ICBA CRA Solutions and The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation as an acceptable way to meet a portion of these federally mandated requirements.

Senior Crimestoppers Member Facilities Cumulative Incident Reduction Statistics

 

CUMULATIVE INCIDENCE PROJECTION:

This “reverse forecast” estimates how many total incidents of crime would have occurred at all participating facilities had they not undertaken a comprehensive, proactive crime prevention program. The projection figure is modeled on confidential crime incidence data supplied by each participating facility at the time of their program commencement. This prior incidence rate is prorated and factored by month via the Senior Crimestoppers Crime-Trac System.

ACTUAL INCIDENTS:

This figure represents the total number of reported crime incidents in all member facilities since their program commencement dates.

INCIDENT REDUCTION PERCENTAGE:

The statistical impact that Senior Crimestoppers is making on the community. The reduction percentage is at 98%!

  • “We love the fact that this program provides residents with personal lockboxes; an anonymous tip line for reporting crime incidents, and effective, ongoing education for staff members and residents. Tipsters who help solve or prevent incidents receive a cash reward which overcomes apathy.”

    – Faith Levesque, Administrator, Highland Rehab and Nursing Center, Middletown, NY

  • “The lockboxes enhance the security of the program; however, the power of education cannot be understated. Helping seniors know what to be on the lookout for in terms of scams and wrongdoing is essential and can stop potential crime before it occurs.”

    – Michele Boone, NHA, Grandview Nursing and Rehabilitation, Danville, PA
