But do they have wheelchair accessible (ADA specifications, please) at
those rates? I hear that cruise ships are another possibility.<br>

care costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old
& 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 swimming pool, a workout
room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc. Most have free toothpaste and
razors, and all have free shampoo and soap.<br>

<div style="text-align: left;">$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).</div>

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

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.</div>
