With the development of medical technology and knowledge, people nowadays can live much longer than they used to. There are various reasons why the people's lifespan has prolonged[,] two of which will be listed below.

First[], [because of] technology [advances] [in] medical equipment and treatment [during] recent years, the medical standard in the society has [] [progressively] [increased] . Many diseases are no longer incurable. Diagnosed [in the] earlier stage[s], some of terminal diseases like cancer are predictable under doctor's control. Moreover, current technology allows human beings' organs to be transf[erred] from one body to another,[]which considerably decreas[es] the mortality [rate] of human beings.

Second[], it is true that the affairs related to elderly people are intensively taken into account by the government and that the society [is] [addressing] the soaring rate of senior citizens' population. The welfare formulated by the authorities provides practical funding[] to elderly people, such as sickness pay or annual subsidy, which financially assist[s] them [greatly].

[Finally,] many organizations and individuals in [] society give a boost to the establishment[] of nursing homes. The proliferation of [nursing homes] in [] society [significantly] aid[s] [in] taking care of senior citizens. [S]ound and suitable facilities[,] and qualified staff[] with medical [know-how or training] in the nursing home[,] help elders [] live [their] [lives].  [you already talk about the facilities so I deleted the rest of the sentence.]

In conclusion, it is clear to see life expectancy is [presently] longer th[a]n [in] the past. Advances in [medicine], official[] welfare [] funding and local[] nursing ho[mes] are [] explanations for this trend.
