NO NURSING HOME FOR US!!!
We'll be checking into a 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 too feeble.
I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn.
For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's �59.23 per night.
Breakfast is included, and some have happy hours in the afternoon.
That leaves 128.77 a day for 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 you'll have the entire staff scrambling to help you.
They treat you like a customer, not a patient.
There's a bus stop out front, and seniors ride free.
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're not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city.

TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem.. They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.

If you fall and break a hip, NHS 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 could I ask for?
So, when I reach that golden age, I'll face it with a grin.

ReplyDelete*laughing* The video reminded me of the 'black hole' email I sent on to the HR department. Same black hole, of course--I wanted to make sure they knew where it was. (with me of course.....LOL)
ReplyDeleteAs for the Holiday Inn vs nursing home........I'm all about that!
What a great idea! I'm going to live in a Holiday Inn too! :)
ReplyDeleteHeehee, good idea, Brian.
ReplyDeleteMel, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of living in a holiday home.
Pearl, we could share one...grins.
HaHaHa - That's what greed gets you! Love the Senior s thing too.
ReplyDeleteValerie, Valerie, Valerie, this post is HILARIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteOMG...the one about the Holiday Inn made me HOWL!!!!!!!!!!!
" And you're not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to see Scotland ? They have Holiday Inn there too."
HAHAHHAAHHAHAHA!
I've seen the video clip before, but it was so great to see it again. Brilliant!

That's a very clever video. Love the ending! What a good idea to book in to the Holiday Inn. I bet there're some people already doing just that!!
ReplyDeleteStar, I believe there are many who become permenent hotel residents. Food for thought...lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Ron. We have travel lodges here... Hahaha I doubt if they organise world travel. It would be nice spending advancing years with someone waiting on me. Oh boy!
That black hole has given me the shivers. I just hope I can sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckles!! I think I'll check in the Holiday Inn too!!

ReplyDeleteHoly shoot...where do I sign up?! :-)
Sounds like Miss Houston might be called for to stem your fear ...grins.
ReplyDeleteFunny video! See what happens when one gets greedy? He would have been alright taking just SOME of the money, right? Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteClever...The video is a great one.
