State investigators in Minnesota say an assisted living facility gave a mentally ill resident large amounts of alcohol over a short period and sent him to a telehealth medical appointment afterward. According to the investigation described by multiple outlets, the resident was reportedly given 18 shots of liquor within roughly 24 hours. Officials also allege the resident was given alcohol as early as around 5 a.m. before the telehealth appointment. The facility’s actions are under review as part of the state probe. Investigators are examining what staff knew, how alcohol was provided and documented, and whether required procedures for medication or treatment were followed. The accounts presented by sources do not indicate that the resident’s condition resulted in a specific reported injury, but they do characterize the alleged alcohol distribution as serious and potentially unsafe. The case is being investigated by state officials, and further details may depend on ongoing findings, including interviews, records, and any related compliance determinations.
