RUBEN VEGAS NATERAS 74919478Z Unit 5, page 50, activity 3 Nowadays,older people have a big number of problems, however

a lot of them have a solution. Firstly, I think that the most important problem is the source of income, because this people must survive with a small pension, and it sometimes is not enough to pay their expenses. The need money to pay the rent, food, electric and water bill, medications and in the most of cases they need pay to someone who care for them,so, they often must ask for help from social services. Secondly, another common problem is loneliness, many seniors live alone because they are widowed, they don not have enough money to pay a home for the elderly, there are old people who have children but they do not want to live with them because they do not want to burden to their offspring. This problem increases when senior citizens suffer from illness, for example, senile dementia, alzheimer, blindness and so on. These illness worse their standard of living. In Spain there are a lot of older people who suffer these problems, so we need to take actions in order to help people who suffer these problems.
