With advancements in technology, particularly in the medical field, life expectancy has increased and
as a result
, society
has to care for elderly people
and I feel society
is doing it currently. Information contained within the following paragraphs will explore my view and how we can manage taking care of elderly people
.
First
and foremost, elderly people
might definitely face some problems as they live longer. For example
, it might be difficult for them to travel to other parts of the city. Since they have retired , they even might not have a penny in their pocket to live or to eat and finally
, it might be difficult for old people
to afford expensive health care facilities. Moreover
, parents living far away from their families may not have a proper home and beds to live.
The Government and Change preposition
in.
society
are taking great responsibility for solving the issues mentioned above. For instance
, the government is not only providing pensions for retired people
, so that, they can spend that money to live, but also
they give health cards to old people
, which provide great discounts when they undergo expensive treatments in hospitals. For old citizens, who are not having a proper home to live, communities are planning to construct one apartment solely for elder ones and apart from that, there is special transportation as well, which is provided to them like special buses for the old to travel.
To sum up, old people
are increasing day by day and their life expectancy has increased because of the advancement in medical technology. Though there are a few issues old people
are facing, and in my view, those are manageable as government and society
are taking great responsibility for solving them.Submitted by saisushanthreddy004 on
