These days people are living into their 90s and beyond. As a result, there is increasing concern about care for the elderly. Do you think it is the responsibility of the family to care for their elderly members or should the government be held responsible?

Thanks to the best medical facilities, the average life of human being has increased substantially. Many people believe that it is the family members, who should take

responsibility. I think that relatives should take

of their elders and the government should only intervene when there is no one who can take

Firstly

is because of the bond of love between them. When people get old,

On the other hand

, people give argument that the administration should take

of the elderly, because mature people are often busy with their work schedules, so cannot be around them all the time.

Therefore

, the administration should set up old age centres, with all the medical facilities to take

For instance

, in case of a sudden heart attack, if a person is already in the old age centre,

then

the treatment can start earlier and

hence

, there are higher chances of survival. To conclude, some people claim that it is better if the government takes up the responsibility of the elders.

However
