Some commentators feel that grandparents should live together with their children and grandchildren, while others say that elderly people should be encouraged to live independently. Consider the possible arguments on both sides of this debate, and reach your own conclusion.

Grandparents are the root of the family tree and we can'

t

imagine our lives without their existence.

However

, it is argued that grandparents should spend their

last

time

in old

age

home

for better health

care

facilities. I strongly disagree with

this

thought and I believe grandparents should spend their

last

with family while playing with their grandchildren. One can'

t

imagine a house without its roof the same way, we can'

t

imagine our lives without our grandparents. Forefathers are the backbone of the family, they not only bound us together but

also

they shower their love and

care

on us. Along with

this

, they are the value system for their bloodline.

For example

, a worrier raises their kids with the stories of the valour while a poet raises their kids with poetry and elegance.

Besides

this

, grandparents

also

have an emotional connection with the family so the way a family can take

care

of their elders no one else can do.

However

, many thought that the old

age

homes are the best place to spent the

last

time

of life. It is because, not everyone can afford the medical requirements of their elders;

therefore

, they can avail the best available medical facilities at the old

age

home

.

Besides

this

, in today's

time

, the majority remains busy to earn their daily bread so they don'

t

have sufficient

time

to take

care

of their elders well at

home

. Along with

this

, grandparents have to participate in the daily chores of a household even if they are not physically fit to do so.

For instance

, a person living with a family has much more responsibilities compared to a person living alone in an old

age

home

. In conclusion,

although

elders may get much more comfort at old

age

homes, they can'

t

get the emotional attachment, love and

care

which they get from the family and I believe

this

is the most important requirement of elders at their lat stage of life.
