A descriptive survey of 201 senior citizens, 55 years or older was conducted June 2001, using face-to-face interviews to establish a database. Structured tools were used to measure self appraisal of family stress, perceived social support, caregiver satisfaction and psychological health of family members and of themselves. Even though the senior citizens had survived past the estimated life expectancy, the quality of life has not improved significantly in the post-apartheid period.
2001年6月，对201名55岁及以上的老年人进行了一项描述性调查，通过面对面访谈建立了一个数据库。使用结构化工具来衡量家庭压力的自我评估、感知到的社会支持、照顾者满意度以及家庭成员和他们自己的心理健康状况。尽管这些老年人已经超过了预期寿命，但在后种族隔离时期，生活质量并没有显著提高。
