Ielts Essay On Old Age Homes 

This is paradox that some old people are condemned to homes meant for the aged, after being abandoned by their families, nonetheless Great Britain is witnessing a growing trend among the elderly, as they choose to live in places with their own peer group. This evokes a debate across different sections, as to whether who should actually take the responsibility of the funding these facilities.

Some people feel that the expenditure incurred on this should be borne by the Government based on a strong argument, that only Government has a regular and a constant source of finances and it also able to create reserves and separate programs that can facilitiate fundings of such initiatives regularly.

Besides the constant source of income, these elderly pay taxes on cause of  social responsibility for others, while being in their youth, it hereby becomes imperative for the society as a whole to contribute to their welfare and the state being the tax collector should shoulder the responsibility of facilitating senior citizens.

Nevertheless, there are some suggesting that bearing the expenditure of these services is solely the onus of the family and children of those in their autumn years; the latter have spent and sacrificed their lives for the betterment and the upbringing of the former, thereby turning them into deserving receipients of such support.

In conclusion, I would rather insist that this kind of the social responsibilities can only be successfully implemented by the regime. Politicians being the  authority and stable policy makers can only afford a such a long term initiative. Even if some NGO works on these lines, It would need a major assistance from the government.
