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?

It has been said that old age is a
second
coming of childhood. The person when reaches elderly requires care and support similar to children at the early childhood stages. In Britain, it has been observed that for a couple of years, elderly people tend to leave their homes and start living in old age homes that accommodate similar group. In my opinion the fees for these homes should be given by family members than by government.
First
and foremost, we look into the "why" these payments should be taken by family not by authority. So, when kids return by paying them, it will bring joy and happiness in elderly as well as a sense of responsibility to the children who are now adult. It will teach the younger generation to respect their elders.
Secondly
, there can be times when children are not financially capable to pay the intuition to old homes. In these circumstances the ministry should launch scheme to pay fees for these unfortunate peoples or union can launch a program, in which old maturity funds can be deducted from child's salary and automatically be paid to their required recipient old home payment. The authority and children can pay together for people who are financially weak.

reduce the burden on their children's current livelihood and
also
give them a sense of responsibility towards their parents. In the end, I would like to conclude by saying that the elderly people require love and feeling of belongings with their children which we can be shown even by these little payment of the old home.
