The following is where you'll find me when we can’t live alone anymore.
This is my plan and I am sticking to it!!
NO NURSING HOME FOR US!!!
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 and 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 spa, 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.
T V 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 grand kids can use the pool.
What more can you ask ?
So, when we reach that golden age,
we'll face it with a grin.
Just forward all our email to:
THE HOLIDAY INN

I like this idea!!! lol
Very good!! :-)
I'll have to remember that one. lol
I like this idea. :D
generally a nice idea lol
This is a great idea and very sad at the same time. The cost of living in a nursing home is outrageous. The care and service is well below the standards of a Holiday Inn. To top it off...to enter a nursing home you have to disclose all your life savings, all investments, and pension. The amount you pay to live in a nursing home will depend on the sum of these investments. You may have to pay a lot more for the same lousy service someone else gets and pays much less. At a Holiday Inn you pay on price for seniors...no need for financial disclosure. Something is not fair or morally right about this. GREAT POST!!!
I love this! And yes, I'll be right there with you.........
OMG so funny. I love it!!!! But then I hate nursing homes since I know what goes on behind "closed doors".
I have seen this before but instead of Holiday Inn it was living on a cruise ship. Funny either way
