[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While temporarily detoxed she is less aggressively mean but still has no filter and is very narcissistic. She had temporary home assistance after a surgery a few years back and alienated the owner of a home health aide company in her area. The consequences of her alcoholism and treatment of people fell on her when she lived independently. Now in trying to move forward I need to factor them in to try to make a plan that will last a little while. A neighbor joked to me about her "Keith Richards lifestyle" so AL could be a disaster if it just provides more people to drink with and have drama with, but home with aides may be no better. I'm trying to be realistic but also want this to not be constant chaos of needing new plans esp with a lot of family not willing to help much with regard to her care.  [/quote]

A friend's father was kicked out of AL for drinking too much. They can and do as residents to leave, for various reasons. My dad spent the last year of his life in Ali, and I can confirm that alcohol is served with joint meals, but only on holidays, I think, and/or at dinner time and they serve it to you so there's no worry about drinking too much.
