No
nursing home for us. We are checking into the
Holiday Inn!
With the average cost for a nursing home care
costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when
we get old & feeble. We have already checked on
reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long
term stay discount and senior discount, it's $49.23
per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for: breakfast,
lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room
service. Laundry, gratuities and special TV movies.
Plus, they provide a swimming pool, a workout room,
a lounge and washer-dryer, etc. Most have free
toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and
soap.
$5 worth of tips a day will have the entire staff
scrambling to help you. They treat you like a
customer, not a patient. There is a city bus stop
out front, and seniors ride free. The handicap bus
will also pick you up (if you fake a decent limp).
To meet other nice people, call a church bus on
Sundays.
For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle
bus and eat at one of the nice restaurants there.
While you're at the airport, fly somewhere.
Otherwise, the cash keeps building up.
It takes months to get into decent nursing homes.
Holiday Inn will take your reservation today. And
you are not stuck in one place forever, you can move
from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to
see Hawaii? They have a Holiday Inn there too. TV
broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress
replaced? No problem. They fix everything, and
apologize for the inconvenience.
The Inn has a night security person and daily
room service. The maid checks to see if you are ok.
If not, they will call the undertaker or an
ambulance. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare
will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade
you to a suite for the rest of your life.
And no worries about visits from family. They
will always be glad to find you, and probably check
in for a few days mini-vacation.
The grandkids can use the pool.
What more can you ask for?
So, when we reach that golden age, we'll face it
with a grin.
