64 and looking for a retirement home?

Since the Holiday Inn doesn't provide any living assistance whatsoever, he may as well rent an apartment. $60 per day is $1,800 per month. That would rent quite a nice Studio apartment just about anywhere in the U.S.

“Since the Holiday Inn doesn’t provide any living assistance whatsoever,”

You get free breakfast every morning, free maid service, free maintenance, free cable TV, internet, utilities...

No not everywhere.

Not with maid service, full maintence and 24 hour call.

Parking plowing, and a resturaunt on site if needed.

The Holiday Inn provides free room cleaning, linen changing plus toiletries such as shampoo. There are also amenities such as a pool and fitness center. Moreover, when relatives visit they can just rent a room in the same hotel. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

Did you factor in the extra expenses he would pay in an apartment, such as utilities, cable TV, etc.? Now, a lot depends on where he chooses to live and what kind of apartment, but here apartments are not cheap. Also, he doesn’t have to sign a lease. If he doesn’t like that Holiday Inn, or just wants to live somewhere else, he can pick up and move any time. I would seriously consider this to avoid Iowa winters.

Hi, Yo-Yo-!

In most Blue states these days, $1,800 will not cover the rent.

This way he has maintenance covered, a place to eat, visitors can come and go without feeling like they’ve got to be quiet or follow Assisted Nursing Center Visitation Hours.

He also sounds like he doesn’t like to mess in the kitchen. LOL

He’s a walking advertisement for Holiday Inn. As long as he’s not running amok most Holiday Inns would welcome a steady customer. LOL
