		<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>

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>
