Lakeland Bank has joined with CRA Partners to help provide funding for the Senior Crimestoppers program for the residents at the Friedwald Center for Rehab and Nursing in New City, N.Y. Crime against the elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities can be reduced and prevented through the Senior Crimestoppers program.

“Senior Crimestoppers is a way for an administrator to further enhance the lives of the residents they serve. They all work hard to provide safe, secure, comfortable living environments and implementing this program is just one example of this. Use of this program does not mean the facility has a crime problem, but that the administrator is proactively finding a way to keep problems from occurring in the future,” said Terry Rooker, president of Senior Crimestoppers.
