With the average cost for a Nursing Home per day reaching
$188.00, there is a better way when we get old & feeble.
I have already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn
for a combined long term stay discount and senior discount
of $49.23 per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for:
1. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in any restaurant I want, or
room service.
2. Laundry, gratuities and special TV movies. Plus, they provide
a swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge, washer, dryer,
etc. Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free
shampoo and soap. They treat you like a customer, not a
patient. $5 worth of tips a day will have the entire staff
scrambling to help you. 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 f rom Inn to Inn, or even from
city to city.
Want to see Hawaii? They have a Holiday Inn there too.
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 I reach the Golden age I'll face it with a grin.
