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 or experience.

Most older

people

in Britain are living in public

homes

with similar-aged

people

where there are health

care

assistants to take

care

of them, and

also

sometimes the

government

pays for

such

care

. In my opinion, I believe the

government

might pass some laws to help them, but it is the main responsibility of their own children to take

care

of them. I will

further

explain my views in the below essay.

Firstly

, most older

people

tend to become more emotional and dependent as they age, and

due to

,that there will be several problems in their family since they have become more inflexible in adapting to their family. In

such

situations,

although

public

homes

provide various benefits, they would be much better if they stay around their family together.

For example

, when my grandparents got sick

due to

covid, they became more vulnerable

while

staying in hospitals and coped much better when they were given the basic treatment in our

homes

.

Hence

, I feel our generation should provide them with the necessary moral support rather than the

government

taking responsibility for them.

Secondly

, it is true that some of them might face financial issues, and in that case, the

government

can implement certain pension schemes. But, apart from the financial benefits, most of them feel isolated when staying in homages. Their health practices and living conditions are

also

much better when they stay in their own

homes

around clean and secure environments.

For example

, a lot of

people

get sicker when they move to public

homes

because they find it difficult to adapt to shared accommodations, and they come with a lot of problems. In conclusion,

although

government

should partially share the financial responsibilities, it is the primary responsibility of a family to take

care

of their own grandparents. Older

people

are

also

valuable to a country as they carry cultural values,and can teach the younger generation a lot of educational and moral information.

Hence

, it is vital to protect our elder generation equally.
