## Resource

A Minnesota assisted living facility is under fire after a resident showed up to a doctor’s appointment drenched in alcohol—reportedly downing twelve shots and a beer—leading to a neglect citation. The facility’s owner defends their hands-on approach, arguing they’re helping residents with severe addictions by managing alcohol intake—even purchasing it—to support recovery. One resident, Don Brambrink, credits the facility with turning his 40-year addiction around, saying he’s sober since the incident and feels cared for. But state investigators stand firm: allowing such intoxication before medical care is unacceptable. The facility plans to appeal and is adjusting its intervention strategies to balance autonomy with safety for those battling substance use disorders.
