A newly signed legislation is allowing "homes for the aged" to get liquor licenses.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said in a press release
This bill helps ensure that those serving Michigan's aging population are given more opportunities to offer products and services that help their residents feel more at home."
Will there be a mass move of "the aged" to Michigan?
Our LTC used to require a doctor's order, but no longer, as it was deemed not in line with our other policies that this is the resident's home, and they should be as free to drink alcohol as they would be when they lived at home. They've left it up to "nurse's discretion" which makes me a bit uncomfortable. The alcohol is kept locked and we serve it up upon request.
