Hey Grandma, Wanna Go Grab a Beer?
In one of the greatest ideas ever hatched, a nursing home has done its residents a fine service. It opened a pub inside the nursing home.
They figure that social interaction is key in prolonging life.
Since putting in the pub (hours 11am to 9pm) visitation has increased.
No surprise. I know I'd be more apt to go for a visit if I could sit down with gramps and have a cold one. Be much more comfortable. Would feel like hanging out and not a hospital.
Too bad the place is in, of all places... Ireland...

That is a brilliant idea!! I worked in a nursing home for 3 summers, and I can vouch that a bar definitely would have raised spirits!
i agree, but only if the staff gets to do a shot or two! ;)
