		<description><![CDATA[Is assisted living an option for stroke survivors? Is it a viable solution for those with cognitive and physical disabilities and impaired mobility?

But the truth of the matter is that I can&#8217;t and shouldn&#8217;t keep reporting only good news, because that is not reality with stroke survivors. My husband Steve is experiencing a lot of pain in his [...]]]></description>
