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?

In the UK, we see hundreds of senior citizens being put into nursing

homes

, which are

a community of other old people and have nurses to look after them.

This

often occurs as the older individual's family may not have the time nor the facilities to adequately

for them.

However

is why sometimes governments have to pay for

. Yet, there exists a debate on whether it is the

government

or the family's duty to pay for these nursing

homes

. Personally, I believe that the cost should be incurred by the family considering that they have a personal obligation to look after and ensure the efficient

care

of their older family member. We see that, most often than not, these older family members spent a significant time within their more youthful days looking after and caring for the rest of their family.

For example

, as a grandmother,

this

individual would have taken the

care

and effort to raise not only their children but their grandchildren as well. Considering the service and time these older

individuals

dedicated towards the rest of their family, it is only right that these

families

should take on the burden of paying for their

care

in these nursing

homes

, as it is a simple way of showing their gratitude towards them and all they have done.

Similarly

Therefore

, when

families

pay for

it allows for more efficient and well-funded nursing

rather than the

pay for their older family member's

and overall better

care

for these senior
