GO TURQUOISE FOR THE ELDERLY
Did you know that the *Go Turquoise for the Elderly Campaign* is observed annually from *15 May to 15 June*, leading up to *World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on 15 June*?
As we enter June, .glen.clinic encourages our community to join us in raising awareness by wearing turquoise and showing support for the older persons who have contributed so much to our families, communities, and country.
Every senior deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, kindness, and compassion. Unfortunately, many older persons still experience neglect, isolation, financial exploitation, and abuse. By wearing turquoise, we help shine a light on these challenges and remind others that our elderly matter.
Over the next two weeks, we invite you to:
🩵 Wear something turquoise.
🩵 Start conversations about the wellbeing of older persons.
🩵 Visit or phone an elderly friend or family member.
🩵 Help create a community where seniors feel valued and supported.
At Faerie Glen Stepdown Clinic, caring for our elderly is more than a service—it is a privilege.
Together, let's turn Pretoria turquoise and show our seniors that they are seen, appreciated, and never forgotten.
💙 Campaign: 15 May – 15 June
💙 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day: 15 June 2026
