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. who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family. give reasons for you answer or include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

It's

a common practise in UK that once the people there get aged, they often opt to go to old

often supported by the

and reside there with the people of the same

group. I strongly agree with the opinion that these homes need to be supported financially by the

government

rather than the families because

this

will decrease financial stress upon the families who actually cannot afford to pay for the necessities of elder folks in their families and

also

in certain families the supporters themselves are too old to pay for the

. As of today, thanks to vast advancements in science and

As a result

of which the number of people belonging to the ' old ' category of

age

is increasing and these elderly people cannot actually be burdened to pay for the

care

of even elder family members.

This

can be understood with an example of a country like

to rise above 60 percent in the coming years. If

this

happens, people who themselves lie in the old

group will have to take

care

of their parents which will be extremely difficult for them. With the growing economic stress, providing basic life necessities and

care

even to one's children is becoming extremely difficult for parents so if these people have to

support

the elders of their family,

this

will be extremely difficult for them. So it would be better if the

pay for their

care

at a place where there will be people willing to provide

care

to elders.

will

also

avoid breeding of physical and psychological abuse of the senior citizens which usually happens in cases when

such

people stay with a family who cannot adequately

support

them. If

government

pays for the

care

of

such

people it will definitely be a better option in favour of the senior citizens of the society. Having said all
