1) Re: 2009 Senate Bill 216 (Authorize liquor licenses for continuing care retirement centers ) by albaby2 on November 12, 2010A few more things. Why just nonpublic retirement centers? Are the people in public centers not allowed a drink with their meals-even if someone else buys or are licenses available only to those who care for the upscale and elite? How/ who will choose which continuing care centers get licenses? Looks to me like maybe these 20 "continuing care centers" may be a playground for the wealthy and should be taxed as such.
Is there a requirement for a system to deny alcohol to those who take medicine that may have adverse effects when alcohol is used? I know there is no requirement for such system in public bars, but people do not live in bars and many of people in these "continuing care" centers are there because they are not capable of taking care of themself-for various reasons.
I think a bottle club type of system would be better if a method of keeping the help out of the inventory is present.
Maybe it's just that our politicians are looking toward their retirement in one of the grounded cruise ships/upscale "Continuing care centers".

Why is a liquor license needed. Allow them to have a bottle and let the home dispense it, like a bottle club. This looks likes some nursing homes are looking for another way to profit off of seniors. Will those suffering dementia and other mental illness be allowed to purchase alcohol from the nursing home bar? Will they use the money from the sales of alcohol to pay for the broken hips and other injuries caused by seniors falling down because of the booze?

alcohol is available to the residents of these centers. so why not allow them to purchase it onsite?
and why the attitude against more liquor licenses? if you choose not to drink, do not drink. do not make that decision for others.
you have no right.
