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.Submitted by Yudy on
