		<description><![CDATA[Bureaucratic double speak tries to paper over neglect of disabled senior dead in her apartment for five months - "sad emotions". Berrigan's ignominious and tragic end - alone and dead in her apartment for five months - should be a wake up call that things are not OK.  Faye Martin director of seniors policy for the PEI government offered up lame excuses. According to Martin, it's logical that a person could be abandoned in a government seniors housing facility. <a href="http://njnnetwork.com/2011/03/pei-government-washes-hands-in-seniors-death/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A 60-year-old disabled woman was found dead in her apartment Tuesday this week in Charlottetown. She died apparently in November 2010, almost five months ago, of natural causes. 
While the story of someone lying dead or dying in their apartment sounds horrific, neglect of seniors with disabilities is an everyday occurrence for as many as 9,000 Islanders. <a href="http://njnnetwork.com/2011/03/disabled-senior-found-dead-after-five-months/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
