Planning for
the future
With the
average cost of a Nursing Home per day reaching $188.00, there is a better way
when we get old & feeble. I have ascertained that I can get a nice room at
the Holiday Inn for around $65.00 - that leaves $123.00 a day for junk food,
room service, laundry, gratuities & special TV movies.
They have a swimming pool, a workout room, lounge, washer, dryer, etc. Most of
them have free toothpaste & razors & all have free shampoo, conditioner
& soap.
Super 8 is somewhat more economical & they have a free breakfast, though
you usually have to walk next door for lunch & dinner. There may be a bit
of a wait to get that first floor room, but that's OK - it takes months to get
into decent nursing homes!
There is the Senior Bus, the Handicap bus (if you can fake a decent limp), a
Church Bus or van, cabs & even a regular bus. For a change of lunch, take
the Airport Bus & eat at one of the fast food cafes there.
The Inn has security, & if someone sees
you drop over, they will call an ambulance. AND, should you break a hip, The
American Way is to sue. What more can you ask for? As a bonus, they all
have AARP & other Senior discounts!
So... when I reach the Golden Age, help me keep my grin,
Just check my old rickety bod into the Holiday Inn!
