60FlatTop Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Vise Grips, Channel Locks, Pliers, and a hammer. I think I worked on his car once. Looks too bright and clean to be a nursing home, but it has a vintage steam radiator under the window. Possibly somewhere with socialized medicine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) here's a better way to pass time in a nursing home. I've had this 1000 piece puzzle about 25 years, made it way back then, found it this week still in original box, so made it over past 5 days while the weather has been nasty. The 1936/37 Cord I consider the best looking and perhaps most desirable Sedan ever produced.

Gunsmoke Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The puzzle is a component of an Inspector Cross Murder Mystery (distributed by bePuzzled, Bloomfield, Ct in 1992). Don't want to give away results of investigation and clues from the puzzle, but if anyone (like some Cord 810 owner) wants the package, box, puzzle (24x30), 10 page mystery story, $10+ ride, send me a PM. BTW, you will note a piece missing in initial picture, since made one see this new picture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No limits for private pay, Ben Correct. My wife is an RN with 35+ years in nursing homes. The patients are allowed up to limits on assets. And in some nursing homes patients on Medicare are allowed to stock their rooms with furniture and other personal items from home. However, I think there is a limit on hammer sizes you can have in the room. Paul Edited February 12, 2020 by PFitz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just flagrantly let old people keep those items the "Deep State" could have sold to compensate the costs. outrageous! No wonder the national debt is so high.

Gunsmoke Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Nursing homes are a classic example of "where the rubber hits the road". No one wants to pay income tax or other taxes to build and operate them, so here we have a mix of private facilities and non-profit facilities. Typically locally they cost a per diem (daily cost) of circa $300-$400/resident, or roughly $100,000 for a year of occupancy. While the tax payers demand that the residents pay what ever their income and assets can contribute, the families of the residents say things like "he/she worked hard all their lives and should not have to liquidate everything to be in one". What they mean is " that's my inheritance you're messing with". No easy answer. 75 years ago, families took care of their older relatives at home, it was not easy, but it was a socially understood obligation. Not any longer, now we ask the government to take care of our elderly, but not to raise taxes to do so. No Win. Sorry to rant, let's get back to old cars! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
