| Annotation | The climate of socio-political transformation in South Africa, together with a society of complex multicultural diversities creates enormous challenges regarding the care of older people in institutions. Institutional abuse in South Africa may present in a unique way, as a result of issues relating to policy and legislation, and care delivery systems. The need for previously segregated groups to integrate and understand the various cultural practices of people from different socio-economic backgrounds further compounds the opportunity for abuse in homes for older people which are undergoing transformation.
