The brochure called it a retirement community, but it was really a rundown hotel, where people waited to die. Sure there was a cafeteria in the lobby, but the food there rivaled the swill dished out in prison. They used to leave the rooms unfurnished, so the residents could bring in the trappings of home in a long lifetime of memories, but far too many former customers left their possessions for the staff to dump at Goodwill. Eventually, they just left everything there and said it was furnished. Including framed photos and clothes in the dressers and their nasty toothbrushes.
