Good for someone that does not need a lot of medical care.
Wonder how this compares to taking one cruise after another.

The article keeps switching seemingly at random between comparing a Holiday Inn and a retirement home or nursing home.

The costs and functions of retirement homes and nursing homes are dramatically different (and assisted living too - in between the two, for that matter).

A meaningless comparison for clickbait


--------------------------------
The most dangerous word in the language is "obvious"

Oh, please.

If you are healthy enough to live in a Holiday Inn, you are likely healthy enough to live in your own home.

I mean, a nursing home provides *nursing.* Nursing isn't cheap.

There are services provided in a hotel that aren't provided in your own home.

Cleaning, vacuuming, laundering sheets and towels.

If your bedroom is on the second floor, it may be tough to climb stairs. But a hotel has an elevator.

And there's that breakfast every morning.

There are many gradations on the spectrum between nursing home and living at home, as Amanda mentioned. A hotel falls somewhere on the spectrum.
