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.

In the elderly age, many

people

move to a nursing home where other old

people

live, and the government finances some of

this

care

. From my point of view, who should fund these institutions depends exclusively on the social economic socioeconomic condition of the person in need, in which governments should pay for the

care

of poor

people

.

Firstly

, most retirement homes provide diversified support for the elderly because they need specific

care

, including nurses, physiotherapists, doctors, and other professional

care

which can be expensive, resulting in the majority of these institutions having high living costs.

For

this

reason, I believe wealthy

families

should pay for these because they have the money to save and finance these types of

care

for their relatives.

For instance

, in many developing countries,

people

have been saving money since adulthood in order to be able to afford better retirement homes in the future.

Furthermore

, poor

families

need assistance from the state because most of them work a lot and can not take

care

of or finance financially support their older relatives , leading to a massive percentage of negligence to significant negligence toward elderly

people

in

this

economic class.

Consequently

, in these cases, I believe the government must pay for it, creating policies in which the person in need must meet certain criteria to be entitled to

this

care

, and which

families

must visit their elderly relative. In Brazil,

for example

National Insurance,

however

, most Brazilians receive a minimum wage pension, resulting in being unable to afford the costs of a nursing home and

consequently

having to be cared for by other relatives.

To conclude

, I believe that the government should pay for the

care

of the vulnerable economic class, which can not afford the expensive

care

of nursing homes, and

consequently

, wealthy

families

should pay for their

care

because they can afford it.
