In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with  other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes  the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family?

In the recent time, the number of old people who lives in an old

age

home has been increasing. Some people think family should bear the cost of old people, while others argue that the

government

should take responsibility of older people.

However

, I agree that authorities should take charge for the expenditure. The

first

reason why the

government

should pay for the cost of a nursing home because some families cannot afford the bills of the caretakers. In some countries, the

government

is providing pension schemas to senior citizens.

However

,

government

should arrange the medical facilities for the elderly people because sometimes medical treatments cannot afford by the old people.

Also

, in nursing homes there are trained staff who can better look after the old ones.

Moreover

, in the current scenario, most of the families are working and children cannot look after the elder people very well. Being alone whole day, old ones will feel lonely and in nursing homes, there will be other people of their

age

group where they can spend time peacefully. Many families run away from their duties not only financially but

also

from support and cares the old ones need at

this

age

.At

this

point of time, I believe

government

should take steps to help senior citizens and provide funds for the old

age

lives. To conclude,

I

would like to mention that not only union but the citizens of the nation should provide support for better lifestyle of the old people. They have served their whole life and payed taxes, now young generation should put efforts to keep them happy during their old life.
