Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Since alcohol is legal, it seems to me that an AL resident should not fear eviction should they chose to drink, privately. As long as they do not display any 'intoxicated behaviors' that become apparent/disruptive to others in the facility.
1. you have to follow the rules of the AL. 2. elderly people are often very sensitive to alcohol: not necessarily getting easily drunk, but it can mess up the body (and mind) in other ways. 3. alcohol doesn't go well together with medicine. 4. elderly people are often dehydrated. this means alcohol affects them even more.
how about trying non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic wine? there are many brands out there.
As others have said check the contract/lease agreement. Some Facilities are "Faith Based" and may prohibit alcohol. It is odd that they would prohibit it if it is not in the contract or lease as many Facilities I know of serve alcohol. One of them has a "bar" where residents can keep their bottles under lock and key so they can have a drink in the common area after a meal.
It's totally going to depend on the facility, some assisted living places have pubs and happy hour and no doubt there are others that cater to the teetotal crowd.
Alcohol can increase aggression and cause balance problems. Drinking in private though not being intoxicated would still cause those problems. Also, who decides when it crosses over to intoxication? Alcohol removes inhibitions, and that isn’t so good for those who take care of him.
Yes they can be kicked out of an AL facility for drinking alcohol privately, IF there is a rule in this AL that no alcohol is allowed. This person should have gone into an AL that allowed alcohol to be consumed if they knew they were going to be consuming it and also knew it was against the rules to do so. ALs are privately owned and entitled to create their own rules, thereby entitling them to evict anyone who is breaking those rules.
Marijuana is legal in Colorado, too, but I'm quite sure the ALs do not want their residents smoking joints in the privacy of their rooms either.
My folks lived in 2 ALs in Colorado, both allowed their residents to drink alcohol and have it in their rooms. One AL had happy hour every Friday night where the staff gave out wine & beer to the residents. One lady would get plastered every Friday night, too, like clockwork. But this was their policy, and all ALs are different.
The alcohol rules are meant to protect people. When my mom was in assisted living the caregivers would mix wine with juice every Friday afternoon in the dining room for the residents. They were allowed one drink that was actually a half of a drink. They got very silly over just that much. But they were not allowed alcohol in their private rooms. My mom was very against these FAC's and refused her drink, asking for water just in case they were spiking her juice. (Lots of alcoholism in our family).
Hmmmm. Such was certainly the case at my brother's assisted living. Those residents who were able enough to live in his facility were free to have alcohol in their own rooms, and there was even a happy hour some nights of the week. It appears you are in a dry ALF. That should have been made clear to residents on getting their place, I would think?

Has the resident been told they will be evicted, or is this just something that worries them?
Some Facilities are "Faith Based" and may prohibit alcohol.
It is odd that they would prohibit it if it is not in the contract or lease as many Facilities I know of serve alcohol. One of them has a "bar" where residents can keep their bottles under lock and key so they can have a drink in the common area after a meal.

What are the rules at this particular facility? Some allow alcohol and some don’t.
If someone is breaking a rule they will have consequences for their actions.
