Nursing Home.

I used to work in a nursing home in the mid 90's. I started out as a cook and then became a CNA. During my time there, I witnessed the activities the residents participated in. There would be quilting bees, crocheting, knitting and sing-a-longs to the "oldies but goodies." There was calming music playing in the hallways. Some people would call the music "elevator music."

Heading into my 50's, I wonder what a nursing home will be like when I get to my retirement age. Instead of coffee served at a quilting bee, will they serve lattes or capuchinos while we watch old MTV videos? In the hallways will you hear songs by Journey, The Eagles, SuperTramp and 80's tunes? When we have sing-a-longs, will we be singing tunes by Abba, Heart, Michael Jackson and other forgotten groups from our youth?

Will we gather around the Christmas tree and listen to Britney Spears Christmas CD? Will we be sitting in front of a big screen television playing Mario's latest adventure? Will we be having Sushi, Meat Lovers Pizza, Subs or any other food that our generation feasts on for dinner?

In conclusion, hopefully the nursing homes will adjust to the generation that is heading its way.
Just something to think about.
