It’s no mystery that the economy isn’t what is used to be decades ago when nursing homes offered luxurious private rooms and the average citizen could afford them. Some of these rooms came equipped with private dining tables, small work desks, a hospital bed, private bathroom, large windows, and plenty of lighting. These private rooms were reminiscent of a hotel room for budget travelers, but they were still comfortable enough for residents to feel at home. Things have changed over the decades, though, and the reality of finding such private rooms are dwindling unless residents fall into a high income bracket, or planned well in advance.
