My Long Term Care Plan October 24, 2022

No nursing home for me. I’ll be checking into a MARRIOTT!
With the average cost for nursing home care being min. $275.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and gray.
Check in to The FAIRFIELD:
For a combined long-term stay discount and senior discount, it’s $79.00 per night.
Breakfast is included, and some have happy hours In the afternoon. That leaves $196.00 or more 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. And most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap. Spread around $10 worth of tips a day and you’ll have the entire staff scrambling to help you. They’ll 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 . . . to keep the cash from building up.
It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Marriott will take your reservation . . . today!
And you’re not stuck in one place forever ~ you can move from Marriott to Marriott, or even from city to city.
Want to see Hawaii? They have COURTYARD there too.
TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem ~ they fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.
The Marriott 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 Marriott 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.
And the grandkids can use the pool.
What more could you ask for?
So, when I reach that golden age,
I’ll face it with a grin.
Aah . . . that’s the ticket!

Spirit Lights The Way 
Brilliant idea!
Yes! It just might work.
Thanks for the GENIIUS idea…! 🤣😎👌🏽
Another option ~ a perpetual cruise! 😀
Sounds like a great plan to me! 🙂
Way more fun than playing BINGO in the parlor, eh?
Yup! LOL!
Your golden as long as you don’t get sick!
Agreed. But happiness strengthens the immune system, right? 😀
If we’re lucky!
I never would have thought, Nancy! Makes total sense to me. 🙂 Almost makes me want to sign up today!
Let’s do it!
Hhmmm .. I do love it! Especially if you can build up points and travel to other places.
Here’s to Hotel Hospitality!
I also read … maybe from you? … that being is prison was a great alternative living situation!
It may make sense, but I would always wonder about the neighbors!
Not me. But someone was just talking about that to me today . . . then I got this e-mail from Joan. Interesting timing.
The math works, and the options are endless. Yes, this could be a movement that picks up steam!
Choo Choo!
All aboard!
Sounds too good to be true.
So, it probably is.
Oh well, we can only dream.
Exactly!
Sounds like a fun idea. Although I suppose if you’re healthy enough to stay in a hotel, you’re also healthy enough to stay at home. No swimming spa or swimming pool at home, though.
There’s no place like home . . . but staying at “a hotel” is better than moving into “a home.” 😀
So true.
Genius. Not to mention you can accumulate points while you live there, allowing you to extend your stay.
Yes! The “gift” that keeps on giving!
Great plan! I might have to join you there!
Yes! We’ll do a book club . . . and a writing group . . . and (for you) a knitting/crochet club. 😀
What a very good idea! May I join you too, along with L Marie, also a knitter, crocheter, reader and writer – sounds wonderful. xx
Please do!
