No NURSING HOME FOR me!!!
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 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're 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 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'll call an ambulance . . . or the undertaker.
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 could I ask for?
So, when I reach that golden age, I'll face it with a grin.

Great Don, But you don't mention anything about who's going to wipe your bum and feed you thorugh the tube, hope you’re not eating breakfast, perhaps the receptionists are more accommodating in the USA Travelodge’s. They would just bill in the UK for clearing up the mess, anyway how the hell as this thread ended up like this.

Heck Donny,
Twice now I have had people die of heart attacks during my gig!
Deane I have had that happen four times so far at dances also....puts a real damper on the affair. one guy dropped right on the danced floor,...I had just ate dinner with him and others 5 min before, I sat right next to him... sad ...very sad. Donny, Don't forget to take the black shirt with you and tie on gogs just in case, it might be you one day who falls off the stool! RIP. Donny died on the job, in the trenches! Go down all guns blazing Donny full volume Tony Not if I can help it....I love to wear black on stage... when can we hear something on your Media Station ... I'm still considering it as a studio piece I Love the open architecture OS?..It's a very deep instrument for sure that can do it all.
