I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In Minnesota, there are certain laws that protect residents of assisted living facilities:
*. Consent is required before withholding personal belongings, including medications.
*. You should be given information about your medication provider.
*. You have the right to manage your own medications, unless it's medically contraindicated.
