But evidence is mounting that age-apartheid compounds are increasingly becoming soft crime targets and the care sector is trashing its reputation by doing nothing to effectively counter the growing threat.
955: 17 people have been killed after a fire broke out at a nursing home for the elderly.
Eighteen others were rescued from the building. Five were hospitalsed with burns.
