Covered Bridge Assisted Living in Holdingford is appealing a Minnesota Department of Health neglect finding after a resident became severely intoxicated before a scheduled doctor’s appointment.

A Minnesota assisted living facility has been cited for neglect after state investigators concluded a resident became dangerously intoxicated before a scheduled medical appointment, prompting emergency treatment and renewed scrutiny of the home’s practices for residents with substance use disorders.
