Some people think that old people need to live in special communities, but others believe they should live with their family and adult children. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

As

people

grow older, they start to require special attention. While some

people

believe that old

age

homes tend to cater to the needs of the elderly, others feel that

this

can

also

be accomplished with their families. In

this

essay, I will be discussing both sides of the argument and sharing my own opinion.

To begin

with, as you are ageing, you become fragile and are unable to take

care

of yourself. Oldage homes serve exactly for

this

purpose.

For instance

, in a special needs

home

you have nurses taking

care

of you all day, providing you with meals and medicines in a timely manner.

Moreover

, at

this

age

, it is challenging to go out and meet friends of a similar

age

group.

This

can be solved in an elderly home, as you get to spend time with

people

of your

age

who can relate to you.

Although

special homes are very capable of taking

care

of old

people

, they cannot replace family. As you get older you want your family to be by your side. The

care

that children provide for their parents is unrivalled.

For example

, an individual may feel uncomfortable asking a nurse to change their diaper whereas with a son/daughter they will make you feel at ease.

Additionally

, the attention that a loved one provides, especially when you are old cannot be seen anywhere else. By way of conclusion, despite special

care

being available for old

people

, the attention provided by an adult child is significantly higher than that of a nurse and it is the duty of the children to take

care

of their parents.
