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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Whether the government or patient’s family should be in charge of the expenses of nursing

home

services has been of increasing concern to British citizens. From my perspective, it should be more of the family's responsibility to finance their elderly family members. Not only does individual payment of nursing

home

costs help improve

care

quality, but the financial burden of governments could

also

be significantly lessened.

First

, It is intuitively obvious that the sustainable sources of a patient’s individual payment results in staggering quality improvements in UK

care

home

services, including human resources, facilities, and fundamental

care

. Specifically, with sufficient aid, certified nursing staff are paid to provide the aged population with 24-hour medical surveillance; daily nutrition could

also

be guaranteed; and any other room, board and basic

care

could be consistently provided.

Moreover

, the fact that families pay for the costs themselves contributes to less allocation of nation budgets into the nursing

care

sector.

This

is because adequate services are guaranteed by regular patient's

care

fees, so the governments could focus their budgets on other crucial fields. Opponents of individual payment might claim that it is unfair for some working-age adults who are

the breadwinners

of the low-income families. Admittedly, in certain poor families, nursing

home

fees are not prioritized, so they are unable to finance expensive services.

However

, British governments' policies will allow reasonable pension schemes to an extent,

as who is entitled to NHS-paid

care

.

Hence

, as long as people are aware of their status and policies, the mentioned problem that they will not be unfairly treated could be overcome. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the families should contribute to the nursing

home

costs rather than depend on the governments to yield the best quality of

care

and alleviate the heavy financial burden of the nations.
