WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, October 23, 2009 – Live Oak Bank announced that it will fund the nationally acclaimed Senior Crimestoppers Program at the Hadden Hall One apartments located in Wilmington, North Carolina.  The Senior Crimestoppers program works much like a neighborhood watch where senior facilities with a strong commitment to crime prevention implement increased awareness and a zero tolerance policy. The program will provide on-going crime prevention programs to these facilities designed to deter incidents of crime in long-term care and senior housing facilities.

Benefits of the program include:
  • -personal lock boxes provided for use by residents and/or family members of a resident
  • -cash rewards paid for anonymous information about crime incidents
  • -24/7 call center tips line
  • -ongoing education promoting zero tolerance

"We are overwhelmed to be chosen by Live Oak Bank for this wonderful community outreach program," stated David Denton, Administrator at the Wilson Health Care Center. "The safety of our residents is a priority for the center and the ability to implement this type of program benefits everyone. Our residents, families and staff are grateful for this opportunity."

"Live Oak Bank is pleased to partner with The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation to bring this incredible program to Hadden Hall One at no cost so they may continue to be safe and secure environments for their residents," stated David Lucht, President of Live Oak Bank. "Our investment in this program will help to strengthen the fight against crime perpetrated against the elderly."

The Senior Crimestoppers program was developed by The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation. The Senior Crimestoppers Program produces outstanding results nationwide with participating centers experiencing a collective reduction in total crime incidents of 92.76% for the last reporting period.  For more information about the Senior Crimestoppers program, visit www.seniorcrimestoppers.org.
