Holiday Inn as a home for retirees
Print Edition
American seniors seeking to retire on the cheap have a new source of inspiration: a Texas man who outlined how spending one鈥檚 golden years in Holiday Inn hotels could avoid costly nursing home fees.
鈥淔or a combined long-term stay discount and senior discount, it鈥檚 US$59.23 per night,鈥 Houston-area resident Terry Robison said on Facebook three weeks ago in a post that has since gone viral.
鈥淭hey treat you like a customer, not a patient,鈥 Robison says. 鈥淲ant to see Hawaii? They have Holiday Inn there, too.鈥
More than 113,000 people have shared Robison鈥檚 idea 鈥 a fairly detailed one, at that 鈥 to rely on the budget hotel chain, with free breakfast, for daily living. 鈥淭he maid checks to see if you are OK. If not, they鈥檒l call an ambulance ... or the undertaker,鈥 Robison adds.
The plan has resonated at a time when costs for retirees have skyrocketed. The median price of nursing homes, with trained medical staff, is now just over US$100,000, according to a report by CNBC.
