Write about the following topic: 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.

The idea of staying in a long-term

care

home after a certain age dramatically increases. There are a few reasons behind it. Here, the topic of whether

families

should cover old-aged home

care

or the

government

,

has sparked recent debate and controversy. I opine that both should pay for retired

people

, and I will explain my stance in the following paragraph with some examples.

To begin

with, old

people

had paid enough money to the

government

in the form of taxes when they used to work. Every country's

government

should

care

for

people

after a certain age by providing them with facilities or covering some of their living costs.

For example

, I used to treat an ex-serviceman; now, he has dementia and is staying in long-term

care

. He served the country in the form of taxes and duties. Now, the

government

is paying for his treatment.

Additionally

,

families

should

also

take

care

of their old ones. Life is a cycle; parents take responsibility for their children like children do when they grow up; they should cover their parents' outlay as a responsibility.

For example

, In India, there is a culture to pay all the expenses of their parents throughout the life of their kids. Based on the aforementioned reasoning, I still stand by my stance that the

government

and

families

both should contribute to old

people

's expenditures. The

government

can pay for their treatment or surgeries, and

families

can cover other monthly expenses. In my opinion,

that is

a clear and beneficial way to take

care

of old

people

after a certain age.
