Turning 80

Here's a depressing article on growing old.

"In an injustice that is bitterly resented, people with savings or homes worth more than £20,500 have to use them to pay for residential care, which — by contrast — is free for anyone with no assets."

What other choice is there? Wouldn't it be worse if lower income groups received zero residential care. Frankly, I would think that in your old age your care for all things material would cease.
