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?

In the UK, most of the elderly people are living in old-age homes where they all are taken care by nurses. While the cost of looking after of

people is given by the authorities, in my opinion, I think that the family should pay money for taking care of their old parents. There are multifarious reasons why family should take
responsibility
of paying to the old-age homes.
Firstly
, the government has several critical areas that have to be funded
such
as healthcare, services, and infrastructure. If the government pays the cost of nursing homes,
then
it would create a huge strain on them.
Hence
, the authorities would not be able to improve these sectors.
Secondly
, If the family members take
responsibility
of paying the nursing homes, they would have a chance to meet their parents.
This
is necessary for their and the family members as well. Owing to visit old-age homes, young people spend a quality of time with their aged parents.
As a result
, they would respect

people and the relationship between them may get stronger. Another point to consider is that meeting family members

the responsibility
of the family members.
Moreover
, parents nurtured and completed all desire of their children when they were young. No one can deny their sacrifices for the family.
Consequently
, it is imperative for the family members look after them.
For instance
, there is a rule in Japan, family members have to pay for the expenses of their old parents, and they have to visit the old-age homes once in a month. In conclusion,
although
the governments fund the old-age homes for taking care of old people, the family members are the key persons to take
this
responsibility
on their own.
Thus
, I believe that sacrifices of parents should not be overlooked they become old.
