Subject: Old Age!!!!
A direct result of being in my late forties, I have started to think about my retirement and what will happen to me when I can no longer take care of myself or in most cases your family no longer wants to take care of an old fart. My conclusion is, No nursing home for me. When I can't look after myself I am checking int the Holiday Inn!
With the average cost for a nursing home per day reaching $188, there is
a better way when we get old & feeble.
I have already checked on reservations at the Holiday In
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 I want, or room service.
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 ofthe
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 Holiday Inn to Holiday 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 I reach the "golden age" I'll face it with a grin.

PS; If I was only forty.
