Nursing home versus cruise ship...what's wrong with this picture?
So let's see, for those of a certain age (MUCH older than I am), the
average cost for a private room at a nursing home is $6,965 per month.
That works out to $41, 695 for a six-month stay. For $40,999, a person
could sail with an inside cabin on an Oceania Cruises ship and visit
five continents, 45 countries, and 45 islands--92 ports of call in all.
That includes all meals, Vegas-style entertainment, swimming pools,
whirlpools, and other extras. At the nursing home, you get food barely
edible, a screw-you attitude from staff, and all the bingo and card
games you can stomach for "only" an extra $1,696. What's wrong with this
picture?
