Many elderly people are no long looked after by their families but are put in care homes or nursing homes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

It is true that over the

last

10 years, more and more adults tend to send their parents to

care

homes when they reach a certain age. In

this

essay, I will discuss the perceived benefits and drawbacks of

this

tendency.

One

of the pros of

this

trend is that by sending the elderly to nursing homes families can lessen their daily expenses because taking

care

of grandparents can be costly and expensive;

therefore

, by doing that they can save an amount of money which can be spent on other stuff

such

as paying for children's education.

Moreover

, the cost of living has increased a lot, so both parents have to work in order to meet their basic needs;

thus

, old people will be left alone and some of them can't even take

care

of themselves;

hence

, it would be best to take them to

care

houses,

for example

, a survey done in London about

care

home revealed that the elderly are satisfied with the services that they receive there. Despite the obvious appeal, there are various cons to

this

tendency, first of all, by putting the elderly away from home, children will have no

care

of them,

a consequence, parents are forced to hire someone to do

Secondly

them and

one

of the reasons for

that is

the fact that kids have zero contact with their grandparents.

To conclude

, as I have discussed in

this

essay, there are a variety of advantages and disadvantages to

this

tendency.
