Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) designates 1 October each year as the International Day of the Older Person. As such, the University of South Africa (UNISA) Institute for Social and Health Sciences (ISHS) hosted two events - one in Eldorado Park and another in Lenasia, South Africa - to celebrate the day. Having recently developed and undertaken a safety audit of old age homes in these areas, the ISHS and Medical Research Council-University of South Africa (MRC-UNISA) Crime, Violence and Injury Lead Programme (CVI) arranged two exciting days on 29 September 2009 and 01 October 2009 for the elderly. These occasions were infused with celebration, information dissemination, discussion and collaboration regarding their needs for safety and peace.
