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