I definitely think that old
age
homes
offer much better care
than a family could offer as their parent turns older and strongly believe that the expenses
for such
care
should be borne by the government

homes
for their senior citizens
and all their care

home offers quite dedicated and skilled staff to take care
of senior citizens

old age
homes
to keep them entertained and engaged with each other.
Also
, it has got so expensive, that an average adult family is barely able to manage their own expenses
leaving aside taking care
of the medical expenses
of their senior parents. During their work life, an average citizen contributes to the growth of the nation by paying taxes and saving in public provident funds which could be utilized by the government

life where they are well-taken care
of both physically and mentally in such
old-age
homes

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
