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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge orr experience.

Nowadays, the older family who lives in a nursing home in Britain have been increasing. There is a number of
families
who believes that the family have the financial responsibility to pay for the aged
care
home.
However
, I argue that the state should take control of these payments because some
people
have difficult economic conditions to take
care
of them in aged
care
and others need to pay for the education of their children. The
government
should pay for the fees of nursing homes because some
families
have minimum income for daily living and older
people
require special medical
care
,
such
as medical technology or healthier lifestyles.
Additionally
, some older
people
need more attention to move from one place to another and the
families
required time to develop work activities.
Consequently
, if the
government
pays the nursing home to the elderly, the
families
should support other family members by providing them with better housing, food, education and clothing. The
second
reason is that some elderly
people
did not have children and do not have close relatives to
care
for them.
For example
, the elderly
people
who have a disease and require constant treatment, Older
people
need a specialist who can provide the necessary
care
and attention at all times,
this
means that they can't take
care
of themselves because their health condition can affect their daily life. some of these
people
don't have financial support and require help from the
government
. In conclusion, I strongly agree that the state should pay for the
care
of elderly
people
because some
families
live in difficult economic conditions to pay for the
care
of elderly members, and they
also
can't provide them with the necessary medical conditions for their health
care
.
Therefore
, the
government
through the pension system should guarantee the
care
of the elderly.
