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.

. In my opinion, I think it is fair that the

government

should pay for elderly housing. It is considered by many that old people deserve to be treated with utmost

care

,

Accept space

,

as they have no mean of income beside their pensions, paying their taxes along their working years gives them the right to benefit from the

government

retirement

plans.

For instance

, in my country over thirty percent of payroll to any employee is deducted by the

government

for taxes and

retirement

pension.

Moreover

, A drastic increase in the cost of living in the past 10 years is the reason why families nowadays can not afford to pay for the

retirement

houses, which is why the

government

should carry that burden off the shoulders of the families,

For example

, according to a study published in The Independent there is a correlation between the inflation rate and families abandon their old people at governmental

retirement

houses.

Furthermore

, a legislation should be done to preserve the elders right in living under good conditions with the

care

they deserve, because

this

affects the whole economy and entire societies, to illustrate, the happiness indicator of the countries who provides elder

care

is higher than the countries who doesn't provide that sort of

care

to their citizens. To sum up, preserved right for good

care

, financial burden on the families and community rights are the main reasons why the

government

must fund the homes and

care

of the elderly.
