We had the best nursing home probably in the state of Connecticut, right down the road when I lived in Wallingford. I could walk there. I was so close so I walked there. It was my first job. It was a nice big fireplace to walk in. It was all Freemasons. It was like Masonic Home and Hospital. It was just for the Freemasons. They had a bar there. They had cigars. It was a beautiful place. It was a long time ago. When my mom got sick, I tried to get her in. They were taking anybody in. The second they opened up the doors, I smelled it. I said, wow! It doesn't smell like cigars and wood burning anymore. It smells like urine. I couldn't believe it. I just turned around. We ended up keeping my mom at home. We'll put her in one of those places until she finally passes away. Those places, you have to watch out. You have to smell them when you walk in. You'll know if they're good or not.
