In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people were 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?

Government-sponsored old

age

homes are commonplace in England. The British government takes responsibility for its elderly population and makes sure that they are provided with all the basic facilities at the expense of the taxpayer. In my opinion, families of the old people living in these specialized homes must take

Secondly

, the government-funded facilities are usually not comfortable and provide basic amenities only. Elderly people usually prefer spending living in their own homes where they have spent a major portion of their lives. Various families prefer to send their elderly to senior

care

homes due to the fact that these facilities are free of cost and paid for by the local or federal administration.

For instance

, a study conducted by Oxford University suggested that more than 67% of the occupants of these senior

care

facilities belong to a household that can afford to take

of them at their native places without stressing their family budgets. The researchers

Therefore

, the trend of misusing the system just because it is free could be minimized by making families pay for

. A major proportion of these facilities for the elderly are not up to the mark when it comes to providing good amenities to occupants. Most of these old

age

homes have a very basic infrastructure that excludes free internet, personal television sets, or even a private bathroom in some cases. According to the same survey cited above, the researchers found out that more than 90% of the old

age

homes in the country either provided paid internet access or no internet at all to the occupants. I believe that if a family decides to utilize a senior

care

facility and move an elderly person to one of these homes, they would usually prefer to book a spot in a comfortable, if not luxurious, establishment. To sum up, there are two paramount reasons for the family taking up the expenditure
