or service of beer and wine purchased from a licensed winegrower or
beer and wine wholesaler only to patients or residents of those
facilities. Existing law provides that a rest home includes an
apartment building, whether licensed or unlicensed, that rents
exclusively to persons age 62 and older and provides one to 3 meals
