Lessons on Retirement Homes from the hit film, Happy Gilmore

If you live in Pennsylvania or any other state for that matter and have seen Happy Gilmore, the zero Oscar-nominated hit film of the 1990s, you'll know that a few concerns could come into play when moving into a retirement community.  Take for example when Ben Stiller makes the inmates residents sew clothes for their keep.  Or garden.  You may recall that driving to visit his grandma at one point a resident inmate throws herself on the hood of Happy's car and yells:

GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!

To which Happy dumps fast food on the window of his car in hopes of appeasing her.  If you are looking at an assisted living environment and it is set up in such a way that someone could get hit by a car, you might want to look somewhere else. 

Later in the show we see that an air conditioning unit Happy tries to fix actually falls on the woman who jumped on his car.  This kind of shoddy upkeep is what can end up starting fires and a host of other health risks at retirement homes. 

You'll also notice that in addition to these lessons, there were not nearly enough personnel to attend to all the retirement home residents.  Happy Gilmore: an example of what to avoid in retirement homes.  Keep it in mind.
