: NO. 21-96-148
PETITION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS
OF THE ESTATE AND PERSON
BEFORE: SHEELY. P.J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
A hearing on this petition was initially scheduled for June
28, 1996, at which time the parties reached a Settlement
StipUlation that was incorporated into an Order of Court dated
August 14, 1996. Respondent has been examined by a psychiatrist,
Dr. Amita Nayyar, M.D., in accordance with the stipulation, and
now Petitioners have requested the Court to appoint limited
guardians of the person and estate. The proposed guardians of
the person are Gregg Martin and Claudia Davis, the children of
Respondent. The proposed guardian of the estate is Financial
Trust Company, where Respondent maintains her checking account.
Testifying at a hearing held on December 9, 1996, were Gregg
Martin and Claudia Davis, Ba:bara Ann McClure (Director of
Residential Client Services at Cumberland Crossings), and
Respondent. The Court admitted the following three exhibits:
Respondent's medical records released from Carlisle Hospital
(Respondent's Exhibit .1)1 a bank statement from Financial Trust
Corp. (Respondent's Exhibit .2)1 and a psychiatric evaluation
prepared by Amita S. Nayyar, M.D., of Holy Spirit Hospital
(Respondent's Exhibit '3). The Court made the following findings
of fact.
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
FINDINGS OF FACTS
Respondent is Violette Roberts, a seventy-five year old
widow who currently resides alone in a cottage she purchased at
Cumberland Crossings a couple of years ago. Respondent was born
in Illinois and had two children from a previous marriage, the
petitioners in this case, who are ages forty-six and forty-three.
She then married her late husband (Husband) sometime when the
children were in their mid-teens. Husband's own children were
already grown at the time of the marriage, and Petitioners have
little if any contact with them.
About ten years ago, Respondent and Husband retired to
Florida for several years and then returned to Quincy, Illinois,
to be near her daughter Claudia because Husband's Parkinson's
Disease had worsened. Respondent had periodically experienced
problems with her mental health throughout this marriage- as
early as the children's years in high school- and Husband sought
the care of a psychiatrist for Respondent. When Husband's health
deteriorated and he required the care of visiting nurses,
Respondent accused them of stealing.
Her problems became more pronounced since her Husband's
death, and she began to accuse her daughter of trying to steal
her money. Respondent ~uffer9 from a severe eye problem termed
macular degeneration and is legally blind. When it became
necessary for Claudia to write out checks to be signed by
Respondent so that she could pay her bills, Respondent accused
2
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
Claudia of taking her money. Claudia then directed Respondent's
accountant to manage Respondent's account, but Respondent also
accused him and the banks of stealing.
Eventually, Respondent moved to Pennsylvania to be near her
son Gregg, although she still maintained frequent contact with
Claudia. I Gregg helped her to find the cottage at Cumberland
Crossings, which has assisted and partial assisted living.
Respondent paid $134,750 in cash from the sale of her previous
home. If she later sells, she will receive a 90% refund.
When attempting to manage her bank account, Gregg
experienced the same problem as Claudia concerning Respondent's
accusations of taking money. Both children were concerned about
the paranoia Respondent was exhibiting regarding unfounded
accusations of people stealing her money and other itemsl she
accused her neighbors, employees of Cumberland Crossings as well
as her own attorney. Her records from Carlisle Hospital indicate
that she was referred for involuntary commitment because of
paranoid delusions. (See Respondent's Exhibit '1). Dr. Nayyar's
evaluation of September 3, 1996, diagnosed her as having Dementia
with paranoid delusions. (See Respondent's Exhibit '3). In her
report, Dr. Nayyar recommended a low dose of Haldol to ease the
paranoid symptoms (id.) and later prescribed the medication, but
Respondent has not cooperated in this respect, although she did
I Gregg lived in Pennsylvania for about ten years but has
recently been transferred to North Carolina.
3
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
fill the prescription.
Regarding Respondent's ability to maintain an independent
living situation, Dr. Nayyar felt that she was able to live
independently but should have someone to help with groceries and
spend some time with her. (Id.). Currently, Respondent has not
requested any of the available services at Cumberland Crossings.
Barbara McClure, the director, has indicated that Respondent is
able to take care of her daily needs. Petitioners agree, except
they insist Respondent can not be trusted with keeping her
appointments with Dr. Nayyar and taking medicine in conjunction
with her mental health.
The Court also notes that at some point, Respondent sent
money to an aid who previously assisted Husband in Quincy,
Illinois, in order to help her move back to Quincy. The money
was returned. Petitioners also expressed concern that last year
at around Thanksgiving, Respondent left Cumberland Crossings
without following procedures in place to ensure the safety and
well-being of the residents.
Turning to her financial situation, Respondent has two
sources of income, her Social Security check in the amount of
$1,120.00, and her Husband's pension check of $568.001 both
checks are automatically deposited into her account at Financial
Trust. She presently has an arrangement with the bank that
allows her to bring her monthly bills to the bank, and then a
bank employee writes out the check for her signature. Financial
4
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
Trust has indicated that it will not continue to operate under
this arrangement without a court order to this effect.
Respondent's only other asset is a certificate of Deposit from
Harris Bank in Carlisle which she testified as worth $79,000.
She does not receive the interest but instead, directs that it be
added.
Finally, with regard to Respondent's testimony, the Court
notes that Respondent appeared confused at times and contradicted
her own testimony on some occasions. Respondent denied
allegations that she told Claudia her attorney was having an
affair with her step-sister and other such accusations. She did
state several times that people were trying to take her money.
She was coherent, though, and able to communicate well.
Respondent insisted that she is able to care for her own needs,
and that she would follow up with psychiatric help to make her
children happy. She now appears content with her living
arrangements at Cumberland Crossings, but would consider living
near Gregg if after spending time there, she decides she likes
the area. Respondent further indicated that she is satisfied to
have Financial Trust manage payment of her bills. She stated
that in any event, Cumberland Crossings will provide assistance
to her if necessary.
5
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
DISCUSSION
Petitioners request the Court to appoint them as limited
guardians of their mother, Violette Roberts, believing that they
should share responsibility for Respondent's mental health.
Gregg maintains that once Respondent is receiving the proper
treatment for her paranoia, he would like her to relocate near
him. Petitioners have not given the Court an explanation as to
how a limited guardianship will assure that Respondent receive
treatment when both Petitioners live out of state, except that
Claudia suggested that an involuntary commitment may be
necessary. Petitioners further request that Financial Trust be
appointed limited guardian of the estate.
First, the Court will consider S 5511 of the Decedents,
Estates and Fiduciaries Code, providing as follows:
(a) Rssidsnt.- The Court, upon petition and hearing
and upon the presentation of clear and convincing
evidence, may find a person domiciled in the
Commonwealth to be incapacitated and appoint a guardian
or guardians of his person or estate.
20 Pa. C.S.A. S 5505(a).
Determination of incapacity is governed by S 5512.1(a), which
specifies that the court take into consideration the factors
listed below:
(1) The nature of any condition or disability which
impairs the individual's capacity to make and
communicate decisions.
(2) The extent of the individual's capacity to make
and communicate decisions.
(3) The need for guardianship services, if any, in
6
.~""., ~__ __...u___A ..-
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
light of such factors as the availability of family,
friends and other supports to assist the individual in
making decisions and in light of the existence, if any,
of advance directives such as durable power of attorney
or trusts.
(4) The type of guardian, limited or plenary, of the
person or estate needed based on the nature of any
condition or disability and the capacity to make and
communicate decisions.
(5) The duration of the guardianship.
(6) The court shall prefer limited guardianship.
With respect to the issue of a limited guardianship, the relevant
provision of the Code reads as follows:
. . .
(b) Limited guardian of the person.- Upon a finding
that the person is partially incapacitated and in need
of guardianship services, the court shall enter an
order appointing a limited guardian of the person with
powers consistent with the court's findings of
limitati~ns, which may include:
. . .
(3) Assuring that the incapacitated person receives
such . . . medical and psychological services . . . as
well as assisting the incapacitated person in the
development of maximum reliance and independence.
Id., S 5512.1(b).
The Code sets forth the following with regard to appointment of a
limited guardian of the estate:
(d) Limited guardian of the estate.- Upon a finding
that the person is partially incapacitated and in need
of guardianship services, the court shall enter an
order appointing a limited guardian of the estate with
powers consistent with the court's finding of
limitations, which shall specify the portion of assets
or income over which the guardian of the estate is
assigned powers and duties.
Id. S 5512.1(d).
This Court has some concerns about Respondent's mental
7
"._.""",-.,---~..,,,--._.-
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
health. However, we do not find by clear and convincing evidence
that the factors for incapacity have been met to adjudicate
Respondent incapacitated with respect to guardian of her person.
Respondent's ability to make and communicate decisions has not
been impaired to the extent that she requires appointment of a
limited guardian of the person at this time. In addition,
Cumberland Crossings provides an adequate support system and has
available additional services. Furthermore, Petitioners keep in
frequent contact with their mother. It is clear, though, that
Respondent should receive treatment for her paranoia. The Court
believes that Respondent should be given another opportunity to
follow. the recommendations of Dr. Nayyar and will direct her to
do so in our order below.
Petitioners also request that Financial Trust be appointed
limited guardian of the estate of Violette Roberts. We are in
agreement. Respondent is unable to see, first of all, to write
her checks for bills. Additionally, her paranoia symptoms lead
her to believe that others are trying to take her money. At any
given moment she will make unfounded accusations that someone is
attempting to steal her money, even the bank she dealt with in
Illinois. Should Respondent suddenly decide that Financial Trust
is also out to get her money, she will not be able to conduct her
financial transactions. Moreover, Financial Trust will not
continue writing out checks without court approval, and
Respondent did indicate that she is satisfied with that
\
~..
8
, .
J -...
,
t

arrangement. As our order below will reflect, Financial Trust
will also disburse funds to Respondent for reasonable purposes.
The holder of Respondent's Certificate of Deposit, Harris savings
Bank of Carlisle, will be directed to turn over and deliver the
C.D. to Financial Trust for the benefit of Respondent.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this /8-t:!, day of DECEMBER, 1996, after a
hearing held on December 9, 1996, Petitioners' request that they
be appointed limited guardians of the person of Violette Roberts
is REFUSED at this time. However, Respondent is directed to
immediately make contact with her psychiatrist Dr. Amita Nayyar,
M.D. of Holy Spirit Hospital, to begin treatment. Respondent
shall follow the recommendations of Dr. Nayyar, or whoever is in
charge of her 'treatment. If Respondent fails to follow the
prescribed treatment, the Court will entertain another petition
for appointment of a limited guardian.

PETITION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS
or THE ESTATE AND PERSON
BEFORE: SHEELY. P.J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
A hearing on this petition was initially scheduled for June
28, 1996, at which time the parties reached a Settlement
Stipulation that was incorporated into an Order of Court dated
August 14, 1996. Respondent has been examined by a psychiatrist,
Dr. Amita Nayyar, H.D., in accordance with the stipulation, and
now Petitioners have requested the Court to appoint limited
guardians of the person and estate. The proposed guardians of
the person are Gregg Hartin and Claudia Davis, the children of
Respondent. The proposed guardian of the estate is Financial
Trust Company, where Respondent maintains her checking account.
Testifying at a hearing held on December 9, 1996, were Gregg
Hartin and Claudia Davis, Barbara Ann HcClure (Director of
Residential Client Services at Cumberland Crossings), and
Respondent. The Court admitted the following three exhibits:
Respondent's medical records released from Carlisle Hospital
(Respondent's Exhibit '1); a bank statement from Financial Trust
Corp. (Respondent's Exhibit '2); and a psychiatric evaluation
prepared by Amita S. Nayyar, H.D., of Holy Spirit Hospital
(Respondent's Exhibit '3). The Court made the following findings
of fact.

FINDINGS OF FACTS
Respondent is Violette Roberts, a seventy-five year old
widow who currently resides alone in a cottage she purchased at
Cumberland Crossings a couple of yeare ago. Respondent was born
in Illinois and had two children from a previous marriage, the
petitioners in this case, who are ages forty-eix and forty-three.
Sho then married her late husband (Husband) sometime when the
children were in their mid-teens. Husband's own children were
already grown at the time of the marriage, and Petitioners have
little if any contact with them.
About ten years ago, Respondent and Husband retired to
Florida for several years and then returned to Quincy, Illinois,
to be near her daughter Claudia because Husband's Parkinson's
Disease had worsened. Respondent had periodically experienced
problems with her mental health throughout this marriage- as
~arly as the children's years in high school- and Husband sought
the care of a psychiatrist for Respondent. When Husband's health
deteriorated and he required the care of visiting nurses,
Respondent accused them of stealing.
Her problems became more pronounced since her Husband's
death, and she began to accuse her daughter of trying to steal
her money. Respondent suffers from a severe eye problem termed
macular degeneration and is legally blind. When it became
necessary for Claudia to write out checks to be signed by
Respondent so that she could pay her bills, Respondent accused
2
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
Claudia of taking her money. Claudia then directed Respondent's
accountant to manage Respondent's account, but Respondent also
accused him and the banks of stealing.
Eventually, Respondent moved to Pennsylvania to be near her
son Gregg, although she still maintained frequent contact with
Claudia. 1 Gregg helped her to find the cottage at Cumberland
Crossings, which has assisted and partial assisted living.
Respondent paid $134,750 in cash from the sale of her previous
home. If she later sells, she will receive a 90% refund.
When attempting to manage her bank account, Gregg
experienced the same problem as Claudia concerning Respondent's
accusations of taking money. Both children were concerned about
the paranoia Respondent was exhibiting regarding unfounded
accusations of people stealing her money and other items~ she
accused her neighbors, employees of Cumberland crossings as well
as her own attorney. Her records from Carlisle Hospital indicate
that she was referred for involuntary commitment because of
paranoid delusions. (See Respondent's Exhibit '1). Dr. Nayyar's
evaluation of September 3, 1996, diagnosed her as having Dementia
with paranoid delusions. (See Respondent's Exhibit '3). In her
report, Dr. Nayyar recommended a low dose of Haldol to ease the
paranoid symptoms (id.) and later prescribed the medication, but
Respondent has not cooperated in this respect, although she did
1 Gregg lived in Pennsylvania for about ten years but has
recently been transferred to North Carolina.

fill the prescription.
Regarding Respondent's ability to maintain an independent
living situation, Dr. Nayyar felt that she was able to live
independently but should have someone to help with groceries and
spend some time with her. (Id.). Currently, Respondent has not
requested any of the available services at Cumberland Crossings.
Barbara McClure, the director, has indicated that Respondent is
able to take care of her daily needs. Petitioners agree, except
they insist Respondent can not be trusted with keeping her
appointments with Dr. Nayyar and taking medicine in conjunction
with her mental health.
The Court also notes that at some point, Respondent sent
money to an aid who previously assisted Husband in Quincy,
Illinois, in order to help her move back to Quincy. The money
was returned. Petitioners also expressed concern that last year
at around Thanksgiving, Respondent left Cumberland Crossings
without following procedures in place to ensure the safety and
well-being of the residents.
Turning to her financial situation, Respondent has two
sources of income, her Social Security check in the amount of
$1,120.00, and her Husband's pension check of $568.001 both
checks are automatically deposited into her account at Financial
Trust. She presently has an arrangement with the bank that
allows her to bring her monthly bills to the bank, and then a
bank employee writes out the check for her signature. Financial

"
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
Trust has indicated that it will not continue to operate under
this arrangement without a court order to this effect.
Respondent's only other asset is a certificate of Deposit from
Harris Bank in Carlisle which she testified as worth $79,000.
She does not receive the interest but instead, directs that it be
added.
Finally, with regard to Respondent's testimony, the Court
notes that Respondent appeared confused at times and contradicted
her own testimony on some occasions. Respondent denied
allegations that she told Claudia her attorney was having an
affair with her step-sister and other such accusations. She did
state several times that people were trying to take her money.
She was coherent, though, and able to communicate well.
Respondent insisted that she is able to care for her own needs,
and that she would follow up with psychiatric help to make her
children happy. She now appears content with her living
arrangements at Cumberland Crossings, but would consider living
near Gragg if after spending time there, she decides she likes
the area. Respondent further indicated that she is satisfied to
have Financial Trust manage payment of her bills. She stated
that in any event, Cumberland Crossings will provide assistance
to her if necessary.

DISCUSSION
Petitioners request the Court to appoint them as limited
guardians of their mother, Violette Roberts, believing that they
should share responsibility for Respondent's mental health.
Gregg maintains that once Respondent is receiving the proper
treatment for her paranoia, he would like her to relocate near
him. Petitioners have not given the Court an explanation as to
how a limited guardianship will assure that Respondent receive
treatment when both Petitioners live out of state, except that
Claudia suggested that an involuntary commitment may be
necessary. Petitioners further request that Financial Trust be
appointed limited guardian of the estate.
First, the Court will consider S 5511 of the Decedents,
Estates and Fiduciaries Code, providing as follows:
(a) Resident.- The Court, upon petition and hearing
and upon the presentation of clear and convincing
evidence, may find a person domiciled in the
Commonwealth to be incapacitated and appoint a guardian
or guardians of his person or estate.
20 Pa. C.S.A. S 5505(a).
Determination of incapacity is governed by S 5512.1(a), which
specifies that the court take into consideration the factors
listed below:
(1) The nature of any condition or disability which
impairs the individual's capacity to make and
communicate decisions.
(2) The extent of the individual's capacity to make
and communicate decisions.
(3) The need for guardianship services, if any, in
6
.' .~.
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
light of such factors as the availability of family,
friends and other supports to assist the individual in
making decisions and in light of the existence, if any,
of advance directives such as durable power of attorney
or trusts.
(4) The type of guardian, limited or plenary, of the
person or estate needed based on the nature of any
condition or disability and the capacity to make and
communicate decisions.
(5) The duration of the guardianship.
(6) The court shall prefer limited guardianship.
With respect to the issue of a limited guardianship, the relevant
provision of the Code reads as follows:
. . .
(b) Limited guardian of the person.- Upon a finding
that the person is partially incapacitated and in need
of guardianship services, the court shall enter an
order appointing a limited guardian of the person with
powers consistent with the court's findings of
limitations, which may include:
. . .
(3) Assuring that the incapacitated person receives
such . . . medical and psychological services . . . as
well as assisting the incapacitated person in the
development of maximum reliance and independence.
Id., S 5512.1(b).
The Code sets forth the following with regard to appointment of a
limited guardian of the estate:
(d) Limited guardian of the estate.- Upon a finding
that the person is partially incapacitated and in need
of guardianship services, the court shall enter an
order appointing a limited guardian of the estate with
powers consistent with the court's finding of
limitations, which shall specify the portion of assets
or income over which the guardian of the estate is
assigned powers and duties.
Id. S5512.1(d).
This Court has some concerns about Respondent's mental
7
~ "..
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
health. However, we do not find by clear and convincing evidence
that the factors for incapacity have been met to adjudicate
Respondent incapacitated with respect to guardian of her person.
Respondent's ability to make and communicate decisions has not
been impaired to the extent that she requires appointment of a
limited guardian of the person at this time. In addition,
Cumberland Crossings provides an adequate support system and has
available additional services. Furthermore, Petitioners keep in
frequent contact with their mother. It is clear, though, that
Respondent should receive treatment for her paranoia. The Court
believes that Respondent should be given another opportunity to
follow the recommendations of Dr. Nayyar and will direct her to
do so in our order below.
Petitioners also request that Financial Trust be appointed
limited guardian of the estate of Violette Roberts. We are in
agreement. Respondent is unable to see, first of all, to write
her checks for bills. Additionally, her paranoia symptoms lead
her to believe that others are trying to take her money. At any
given moment she will make unfounded accusations that someone is
attempting to steal her money, even the bank she dealt with in
Illinois. Should Respondent suddenly decide that Financial Trust
is also out to get her money, she will not be able to conduct her
financial transactions. Moreover, Financial Trust will not
continue writing out checks without court approval, and
Respondent did indicate that she is satisfied with that
8
NO. 21-96-148 ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION
arrangement. As our order below will reflect, Financial Trust
will also disburse funds to Respondent for reasonable purposes.
The holder of Respondent's Certificate of Deposit, Harris Savings
Bank of Carlisle, will be directed to turn over and deliver the
C.D. to Financial Trust for the benefit of Respondent.
AND NOW, this
ORDER OF COURT
/8~
day of DECEMBER, 1996, after a
hearing held on December 9, 1996, Petitioners' request that they
be appointed limited guardians of the person of Violette Roberts
is REFUSED at this time. However, Respondent is directed to
immediately make contact with her psychiatrist Dr. Amita Nayyar,
M.D. of Holy Spirit Hospital, to begin treatment. Respondent
shall follow the recommendations of Dr. Nayyar, or whoever is in
charge of her treatment. If Respondent fails to follow the
prescribed treatment, the Court will entertain another petition
for appointment of a limited guardian.
Petitioners' request that Financial Trust Corp. be appointed
limited guardian of the estate of Violette Roberts is GRANTED
with the following conditions: 1) Respondent's Social Security
check and pension check shall continue to be automatically
deposited into her checking account at Financial Trust; 2)
Financial Trust shall write out checks to be signed by Respondent
for payment of her monthly bills, and if Respondent is unable to
sign her checks, the bank shall do so; 3) Financial Trust shall

parents moYed away to find jobs, She claims that her grandmother beat her Incessanlly, She neyer again

and they moYed around, They had two children. the current pemloners. who now lIye In Illinois and North
Carolina. Mrs, Roberts was later married again, for 27 years, and this husband died 3 years ago, They had
no children together though he had adopted children Irom a previous marriage, She claims to haye had
an excellent relallonshlp with this last husband though her daughter reports that Mrs. Roberts was cruel
and hostile toward him In his final years when he was afflicted with Parkinson's Disease,
The daughter, Claudia Davis, aged 43, reported the 101l0wlng Inlormatlon:
Ms. Davis reports, by her father's account, that her mother had seen a psychiatrist lor at least the last 30
years and been prescribed medlcallons for "nerves. depression.. and had been addicted to Valium
(though Mrs, Roberts denies any psychiatric history), However, she neyer continued with anyone
psychiatrist as she tended to blame them, as well as others. lor her problems, Her mother had a yolallle
personality, prone to suspicion and outbursts of anger. and consumed too much alcohol, usually nightly
(Despite this memory, Mrs, Roberts claims that she and her husband would typically have a nlghlly drink
before bed to help them sleep but that this was never exposed to the children), Her mother worked
exhaustlyely as a factory supervisor to support the lamlly when single. Elghteen years ago, Mrs, Roberts

refused to talk to her daughter for several years for unknown reasons. When her last husband died, Mrs.
Roberts accused Ms. Davis' husband of wanting to kill her. but then later was pleasant as If nothing had
transpired, Similar oscillation between angry accusation and friendly Interaction has been reported in
other relationships and situations. Ms, Davis finds that she has not been able to have a normal relationship
with her mother due to the unpredictable suspicious accusations and associated anger. The accusations
haye become excessive In the last 1 0 years. She claims that live years ago. her mother was threatening to
kill people, Mrs. Roberts accused her son of stealing her money. and also alleged the same of her bank 4
years ago In illinois, She also said that neighbors there were stealing her possessions. and then put extra
locks on her bedroom door. not even giving a key to her husband. Ms. Davis last saw her mother one year
ago when accused of stealing her bank statements. At that time. she took her shopping and found that
she stocked up on alcohol because she said she needed wine at night to help her sleep, She had also
been taking oyer-the-counter sleep aids, A physician refused her request for sleep medication to which
Mrs. Roberts reacted angrily by discounting his competency and refusing to return, Ms. DaYls reported
that her mother has always been quite heallhy, Howeyer, she expressed concern that Mrs. Roberts may
not be taking In proper nutrition due to poor food choices.
After her husband died 3 years ago. Mrs, Roberts moved from Quincy, illinois to an Independent living
collage on the grounds of the Cumberland Crossings Nursing Home in Carlisle, PA near the residence of
her son, Mr, Martin, Yet. he was soon transferred by his trucking company to North Carolina, One year
ago. Mrs. Roberts accused her neighbor of stealing her possessions, as well as her mall to get her
pension checks. and called the police, She reported seeing him wearing her late husband's Wedding
ring. She had her locks changed but claimed that this neighbor had a new key made. She was then
involuntarily committed to the psychiatric unit of Carlisle Hospital. At her admission. it was reported that
she had been refusing to take her eye drops that were prescribed due to recent cataract surgery though
she claimed that she had been taking them on her own. She had been refusing to have the Visiting Nurse

Observstlons snd Test Results
Mrs, Roberts presented as a thin. Caucasian woman appearing her chronological age. She was very
suspicious during the initial phone contact and hung up to immediately call her allorney to express
agitation and to cancel the appointment she had just made with this examiner. Howeyer. she became
more comfortable after later meeting the examiner to sign release forms and to discuss the testing ahead
of time. She was generally pleasant during subsequent eyaluatlon appointments at her home. However.
she often became suddenly angry for having to undergo eyaluatlon and answer difficult questions.
sometimes asking questions that reflected her suspiciousness and at other times angrily blaming her
attorney or her children, Yet. these moments quickly abated. especially when glyen encouragement.
Anytime cars entered the driveway outside her cottage, she cautiously peered outside and surmised what
might be happening, Speech was clear and relevant. No hallucinations were noted or reported.
Delusions were noted as she asserted that her neighbor used to steallrom her and had taken all her
possessions from her shed. leaving It presently bare. She was oriented to person. place. and purpose 01
exam, A slight hand tremor was noted, She put lorth a good eHort on test Items. often anxiously
persisting" she did not know the answer until reassured and oriented to the next lIem, She was open to
dlscusslon 01 personal material. She appeared happy to show the examiner around her cottage and to
allow Inspecllon 01 her cupboardS and bank accounts.
Intellectual assessment using the WAIS.R could not provide a Full Scale 1.0. as her vision Impairment
disallowed administration of the Performance 1.0.. a scale that measures spatial and nonyerbal
Intelligence, However, the other scale that comprises the Full Scale 1.0.. the Verbal 1.0.. could be
administered as it only requires yerbal responses to oral questions. Her Verbal 1,0. was 95 which falls In
the Ayerage range of Intellectuallunctlonlng (compared to the highest age norm group of 70-74), All
subtests that comprise the Verball,a,lell between scaled scores 016 and 10 (ayerage: 8-12). evidencing
no significant strengths or weaknesses, The lower scores fell on measures 01 general fund 01 information
as well as mental arithmetic which requires concentration and mental control. The higher subtests lellln
vocabulary knowledge and short term recall of digits. Given the observed memory problems. It was
suspected that this latter subtest did not proylde a yalld representallon of her short term memory capacity,
especially as she seemed to be more adept at echoing what she heard rather than suHiciently retaining to
manipulate the Inlormatlon, Thus. further memory and neuropsychological testing was performed.
Memory and neuropsychological testing revealed a pattern suggesllve 01 the early stage 01 dementia 01
the Alzhelmer's type due to problems In memory, orientation. and executive lunctlons, The Weschler
Memory Scales yielded a Memory auotlent of between 74-84 (design recall was omitted due to Ylslon)
which Is much below her Verbal 1.0, 0195. Indicating memory deficiency, Short term memory was poor as
she was able to recall little to none 01 each short passage read to her, Her ability to retrieve memories
when presented with multiple choice options was yariable but usually poor, Memory problems were also
noted by her Inability to learn new material: for example. she was unable to learn a list 01 paired words
despite three presentations, Short term memory appeared poorer than long term as Initially occurs in
dementia However. this discrepancy was diHlcult to assess given that some long term memory problems
were noted and because she seemed to confabulate (Invent memories). Thus. she proylded Information
about her Iile that gaye the appearance of adequate long term memory though may haye been false due
to confabulation. This was especially suspected as she was unable to provide dates of slgnillcantllfe
eyents which Is something that cannot be concealed: lor example. she answered many chronology
questions wllh .1966", Thus. some problems In recalling previously learned material were noted for
personal Information such as dates and prior jobs. as well as lor generallnlormatlon such as the current or
past presidents, Orientation problems were noted regarding time as she was unsure as to the year ("95 or
96.). month. and date though she was oriented to place and person, Her executlye functioning (which
Inyolyes abstract thinking. planning. Initiation. sequencing. and monitoring of complex behaYlor) Is better
than her memory, but problems were stili noted as through her Inability to add serlal3's or subtract serial
7's. explain proyerbs. or sufficiently generate categorical words (animals. words that start with "a.. etc.)

.
upon demand, Yet. executive functioning Is adequate such that it does not appear to interfere with her
ability to provide for hersell such as through cleaning. hygiene, or food preparation.
Mrs, Roberts' performance was also rated according to the Global Deterioration Scale. a scale 01 age-
associated cognltlye decline and Alzheimer's Disease. This scale classifies 7 stages of cognltlye
functioning from normal to severe Alzhelmer's disease. On this, she largely fell at stage 4 for which a
diagnosis of mild Alzhelmer's disease Is assigned. Mrs. Robert's current denial of cognitive and emotional
Issues Is also characteristic of this stage. Some stage 3 functioning was noted which contains symptoms
compatible with Incipient Alzheimer's,
Depression Is currently slgnltlcanl. Though she denies feeling depressed, further discussion revealed
deep sadness, loneliness. and a continuing sense of loss over her spouse and prior way of life. Other
depressive symptoms Include insomnia, chronic fatigue, hopelessness, and feeling that her lIle Is empty
and that she Is gelling useless,
Mild dementia Is suspected; however, this does not eliminate the smaller possibility that the aboye
cognitive Impairments are due to depression rather than to dementia for the following reasons:
The elderly are prone to developing .pseudodementla" when depressed In that the depression may
manifest as confusion, memory loss, and even disorientation, She does present with a past psychiatric
history and some problems with remote memory. characteristics more common in depression than early
dementia, The depression could have also become chronic and severe enough such as to cause
paranoid delusions, as does occur In the elderly, In addition, normal age-related declines In cognltiye
functioning can appear worse If accompanied by significant depression. Her Mini-Mental State Exam
score of 20 Is the average score for pseudodementla patients, being more unlikely for dementia (unless.
perhaps. in an earfy stage), At such a point In cognltlye Impairment, it can be very difficult to discern
between an actual and a false dementia
Yet. Mrs, Roberts tends to beller fit the pallern for actual dementia due to other characteristics typical of
that disorder such as lack of a clear onset, lack of memory complaints or other woes. denial of depression.
good effort on psychological testing. and confabulation, Also, early dementia can exacerbate prior
personality problems, and it Is noted that Mrs. Roberts' paranoia has become dramatically worse,
Personality assessment Indicated significant paranoid Ideology to the extent of delusions, She continues
to assert that her neighbor has been stealing from her, pointing to obviously distorted proof. Interview
with her daughter reyealed a history of suspiciousness to suggest a premorbid diagnosis of Paranoid
Personality Disorder that has existed most of her life, The diagnosis comes from the category of
Personality Disorders which refers to a disturbance In the normally Integrative functions of acting, thinking,
and feeling that compose one's personality, and which tend to be a lIle-Iong disturbance, A Paranoid
Personality chronically expects, without justification, to be harmed by another, reads demeaning
messages Into benign remarks or events, bears grudges. questions loyalty or faithfulness. and Is quick to
react with anger to perceived allacks, At this evaluation, she endorsed nearly all of the common cognltlye
schemas that Paranoid Personality Disorder persons manifest. The statements she endorsed with "yes"
included: I cannot trust other people; other people have hidden motiyes; others will try to use me or
manipulate me If I don't watch out; I haye to be on guard at all times; it Isn't safe to confide in other people;
people will take adyantage of me If I give them the chance; for the most part, other people are unfriendly;
other people will deliberately try to demean me; I will be In serious trouble If I let other people think they
can get away with mistreating me; if other people find out things about me, they will use them against me;
people often say one thing and mean something else; and. a person whom I am close to Is disloyal.
Paranoid Personality Disorders typically do not manifest blatant delusions as does Mrs. Roberts. The
exception Is a subtype of this disorder known as "decompensated paranoid. personality as these

stress, Ills possible that the passing 01 her husband provided that stressor as II was then tnat her
daughter recalls what appears to be the Ilrst slgnillcant delusion 01 Mrs. Roberts accusing her son.in-Iaw 01
wanting to kill her. The ongoing loneliness Is a significant stressor, and continuing depression Is
sometimes sulllclentto produce delusions, But the most apparent explanation Is that these are the
persecutory delusions that sometime occur In early dementia. especially ilthere was similarly disturbed
prior personality lunctloning; In other words, the apparent dementia has exacerbated Mrs, Roberts' prior
paranoid personality lunctlonlng, Combining all these lactors. It Is not difficult to understand the
development 01 her delusional thinking,
Indlylduals with Paranoid Personality Disorder tend to generally lunctlon higher or to be more
psychologically sophisticated than other Personality Disorders. This means that they are beller able to
selectively Inhlbllthelr behaYlors or IIT\Pulses lor temporary periods when needed. This Is likely what Is

Mrs, Roberts also evidences some qualllles 01 an obsesslye-compulslve personality style, and endorsed
many 01 those cognitIVe schemas, which Is also belleyed to be another subtype 01 Paranoid Personality
Disorder. Such persons are seen to be perfectlonlstlc, oyercontrolled, and wllhdrawn, Though Mrs,
Roberts prolesses extreme loneliness, she may tend to ollen wllhdraw, She will occasionallY socialize
such as through coming to lunch or a beautician appointment at the nursing home. but these yentures are
relatively Infrequent and circumscribed given her need lor company. Her compulslyeness compensetes
lor dementia dangers such as lorgelllng to turn 0" the stoye as she compulslyely checks things In her
envtronment and makes order, Also, the sta" report that leavtng the stoye on has not been a problem wllh
her as with other private residents.
Finally, her diet was Investigated by revtewlng her cupboards. This reyealed products that can be easily

RecommendeUonB
1. At present. Mrs. Roberts Is capable of running her affairs of daily liYing including hygiene and diet.
Thus. It Is recommended that she be left in her priyate residence for now, Persons ranking 3 to 4 on the
Global Deterioration Scale can maintain independent lIying; this especially applies to Mrs. Roberts giyen
her Average Intellectual capaCil)', Also. her paranoid ideation does not appear to presently pose a threat
to others or to her ability to function.
There Is the question 01 Inevitable deterioration if Alzhelmer's disease is present; however. many
individuals have been found to maintain this mild cognitive Impairment where independent functioning Is
possible for at least several years, and continuing to haye an aide Into her home will provide further
support as well as monitoring for dangers and medical compliance. Lastly. there is the diagnostic
uncertainty at this leyel of Impairment, meaning that whereas mild Alzheimer's disease appears likely, there
Is the smaller possibility that the symptoms could be due to another condition such as depression.
Thus, she could remain In her current Independent living situation; however, glyen these possibilities, it Is
recommended that she be reevaluated In one year. Successive eyaluatlons that can build upon a
previous base of Information of functioning Is the best way to diagnose a progressiye dementia and to
monitor the course of its Impairment. especially in relation to ability to handle affairs 01 dally living. A
continuing decrease In mental status, memory, and Intellectual scores could Indicate a need for Change in
care and guardianship matters,
2. Regarding financial matters, this eyaluation Indicated compelling reasons for both transferring financial
guardianship elsewhere as well as leaving it with Mrs, Roberts. Reasons for tranSferring It include her
potential to be taken advantage of giyen her loneliness, desire to move though need for help In this. and
potentially (not displayed at this evaluation) Impaired judgment capacity associated with dementia,
especially as she may not suspect another while busily blaming her children for wanting to steal her
money. In addition, It Is at stage 4 of the Global Deterioration Scale that persons lose the capacity to
manage the complexities of financial management.
Reasons for leaving Mrs, Roberts to her own financial guardianship include the fact that. whereas she Is at
stage 4. her financial matters are neither complex nor does she handle them herself now anyway. She
maintains a simple checking account yet has been having her bank regularly write her checks for all bills
and for her own cash withdrawals. These withdrawals also Indicate a reasonable use of her funds as review
of recent months' records Indicate she utilizes a maximum of $100 weekly, When requested to produce
her documents. she had them neatly organiZed along with bills that were ready to be brought on her next
banking trip, She reports that she has her bank maintain her checkbook due to her vision; this also helps
bypass difficulties managing funds that might potentially arise due to cognitiye Impairments.
It Is suggested that she be permitted to maintain financial guardianship as this evaluation did not provide
sulflclent evidence of a present and active Incapacitation in using her funds or in evaluating and
communicating Information In these matters, This Is provided that compensation for her yisualimpalrment
continue to be made by her bank writing out her checks and ledger, This capacity would again be
assessed with the future reeyaluatlon mentioned under recommendation #1, However. if she continues
to take any trips without providing notification, then the potential for overreaching Increases, and financial
guardianship should be transferred at that point.
If It Is decided that financial guardianship will be transferred, then Is it recommended that it be assigned to a
financial Institution rather than to priyate Indlvldual(s). This will avoid the conflict that would ensue should
she make paranoid accusations toward the person that had been appointed.

PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION
Name: VIOLETTE ROBERTS
Date of Eval.: 09/03/1996
Attending Physician: Dr, Nayyar,
Medical Record #: 356489
Date of Birth: 12/04/1919
SOURCE OF INFORMATION:
The patient, her husband's daughter, Kathy Kee, Eileen
Metz, Director of Personal Care at cumberland Crossings, as
well as Psychological Evaluation which was done by Bruce
Kelly.
IDENTIFICATION:
Patient is a 76-year-old widowed white woman who lives by
herself currently in an independent living oituation at
Cumberland Crossings. She's been living in this area for
three years, and is a housewife.
CHIEF COMPLAINT:
Patient presented herself for a psychiatric evaluation
for evaluation for patient's capacity to maintain an
independent living situation and to assess her for dementia as
well as depression.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
Patient presented for evaluation along with her lawyer,
Mr. Marcus McKnight. The patient was interviewed alone. The
patient states that she has been living in this area for the
past three years since her husband, Ed Roberts, died. He had
had Parkinson's disease and had died about three years ago.
Patient had moved up to this area as her son Greg lived here,
and she was living at Cumberland Crossings, She was living in
Quincy, Illinois prior to this. Patient states that she has
macular degeneration and has trouble with her vision, but has
been trying to make some adjustments to take care of this.
Patient states that her son haS left this area. She feels
that her two children, at this point, are trying to take her
money away, and feels that ~hey are trying to take away her
independence, and feels that this has really been upsetting
her. The patient herself is somewhat suspicious. She states

Name: ROBERTS, VIOLETTE
that Theresa Kimmel doesn't like her (Theresa Kimmel is one of
the staff at Cumberland Crossings), and feels that her house
has been searched a couple of times, She is somewhat vague in
giving this information. She says that Theresa Kimmel is "in
cahoots" with her two children, and that they just want to
take her money away. Patient describes a somewhat turbulent
relationship with her two children, especially her daughter,
and states that they have their financial problems and are
interested in her money. The patient denies feeling
depressed, stated that she had been depressed for sometime in
the past. She states that she's been sleeping fine, has been
able to maintain her apartment, states that she spends her day
cleaning and enjoys doing this. She states she is able to do
her own groceries, and has had some trouble with her banking
and her money management, and therefore has the bank take care
of it. She states she goes to the bank once a week, and they
are able to help her with writing out her checks. She has one
CD in carlisle which a friend is taking care of for her. She
denies having any suicidal or homicidal ideations, states her
energy is good, denies hearing voices, and denies any symptoms
of insertion thought broadcasting, or any referential at this
po~nt. She also denies anhedonia. Patient states that she
has never been a big drinker, and denies any alcohol use at
this time. Writer also spoke with Eileen Metz who is the
director at Cumberland Crossings, who also confirmed some of
the information. She did admit that Mrs. Roberts has been
suspicious at times, but states that Mrs. Roberts has had no
trouble maintaining herself, that she keeps her cottage
immaculately clean, her ADLs are very good, she has been able
to get a magnifier to read some of the things that she was
unable to read before, and states that she does have some
concerns about Mrs. Roberts spending so much time alone, and
that there has been some trouble when she's gone grocery
shopping, saying that Mrs, Roberts only buys junk food. The
patient, though, does buy a lot of ready-made food because it
has become harder and harder to cook because of her vision.
Patient also has recently been getting her dinner delivered
from the cafeteria at Cumberland Crossings at night, and
Mrs. Metz has confirmed this, Mrs. Metz denies any agitated
behavior, denies any threatening b~havior at this time.
Writer also spoke to Kathy Kee, Some of what precipitated
this whole issue was the fact that in February, patient had
gone up to Chicago with her husband's daughter, Kathy Kee, and
according to Kathy Kee, the patient is doing fine. Mrs. Kee
stated that she herself wrote the note and left it in
management; but according to the management, this was not the
right procedure, and they had some concern as to whether
2
.~'j::ti~-ti:.~:.t'-~'.~it.,::: '_> ..~ >:</',':'
\,
Name: ROBERTS, VIOLETTE
Mrs. Roberts knows the right procedure ~ for sometime, no
one knew where Mrs. Roberts had gone. Mrs. Kee stated that
she has some concerns about the relationship between
Mrs. Roberts and her children, and that they've always had a
turbulent relationship. She states that the patient has had
some short-term memory loss, but otherwise she is very
methodical, routine, checks everything. She is able to
organize her house really well, to deal with her visual
impairment, her hygiene is good, and that she had not noticed
anything that was interfering with patient's ability to care
for herself at this point. Kathy Kee also denied knowing any
history of substance abuse as far as the patient. Mrs. Metz
also denied any information as far as the patient's drinking.
MENTAL STATUS EXAM:
Mrs. Roberts is a 76-year-old white woman, well-dressed,
casually groomed, cooperative, making good eye contact.
Speech is normal. Patient denies being depressed. Affect is
full range. No suicidal or homicidal ideation is noted,
Patient is goal-directed, but somewhat circumstantial at
times, and does, at times, try to evade an issue when she
doesn't know the answer. Patient denied any auditory or
visual hallucinations, but has some paranoid delusions
though, mostly related with things disappearing from her
cottage, and is accusing some people, especially one of the
staff at Cumberland Crossings, of doing this. Cognitively,
she is alert, oriented x 3. Insight is fair. As far as
memory, her short-term memory is impaired, but long-term
memory is more intact. On a mini mental status, she got 25
out of 30 with the wri~er, and on an extended mini mental
status, she got 87 out of 90 (The two pentagons were not done
because of patient'S difficulty seeing,). She was able to
read "Close your eyes" which was written in a large script.
Patient's attention and concentration are fair. Impulse
control and judgment during the interview were intact.
Insight is limited.
MEDICAL HISTORY:
Patient has medical history of macular degeneration, and
is legally blind, Denies any other medical history and is
currently not taking any medication.

PLAN AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Patient requires medical workup including an MRI to
assess for any correctable conditions that may be playing
a part in her cognitive decline, According to Mr.
McKnight, patient is having a workup with her physician,
Dr. Willard, and Mr. McKnight will have this information
forwarded to the writer.
2. Patient probably requires low dose Haldol because of the
paranoid symptoms, and writer shall consider starting
that on the next visit after awaiting some of the medical
workup.
3. Shall reassess the patient in two weeks, especially for
the depressive symptoms. According to neuropsych
testing, there were some depressive symptoms, but writer
herself was unable to find any.
4. As far as capacity at this point, it was felt that the
patient has some cognitive impairment, especially with
her short-terms memory, and also with some of the
paranoid thoughts, but this has not so far interfered,
from the information available, with her ability to
maintain an independent living situation and living by
herself, Writer does feel that the patient needs some
support as far as having some help with her groceries,
and probably requires a helper to come in a couple of
times a week, who could spend some time with her and help
her do some of these things, I agree with the neuropsych
evaluation as far as this goes.
5. As far as financial management, and the patient's ability
to maintain her finances independently, patient has made
some changes as far as having the bank write out her
checks, and also having someone else maintain her CD. I
think that she does need some help with this, but I think
that the patient should be able to determine who will
help her manage her finances. I think that the patient
should also consider assigning power of attorney at this
point so that if later on, as the cognitive impairment
may get worse and interfere with her capacity, she will

The petition of Financial Trust Services Company, Guardian of the Estate of Violette

McKnight, Esquire. Appearing today on behalf of the two
children is Robert G. Frey, Esquire.
The parties appeared and took the deposition of
Douglas P. Dionne, M.D., on June 5th, 1997. Dr. Dionne is a
licensed psychiatrist in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I'm
satisfied from his testimony that there should be a guardian of
her person appointed. Both children have agreed to serve as
co-guardians of the person of their mother, and from the remarks
of counsel today, it would appear that appointing both children
would be the proper way to proceed rather than just appointing
one.
Therefore, the Court does appoint the daughter of

CLAUDIA DAVIS AND GREGORY MARTIN
RE: Termination of Cottage Residency Agrt:ement
Dear Ms, Davis and Mr. Martin:
This letter eonstitutes notice that the Carlisle Retirement Community Corporation
("Cumberland Crossings") will terminate the Cottage Re~idency Agreement ("Agreement") of
your mother (of whom you are the coUrt appointed plen::uy guardians of the person) on March 25,
1998 in accordance with the Agreement. Cumberland Crossings has decided to terminate the
Agreement because your mother has developed a health condition which endangers her health,
safety, and welfare if she were permitted to remain in her cottage. Specifically, your mother
exhibits the following:
· Decline in cognitive function
· Increased delusional behavior
· Inability to comply \vith recommended medical management of her disease
· Diminished nutritional state resulting in progressive weight loss
· Threats of elopement from the cottage that would endanger her safety.
Your l1111ther's con.sulting ph}'3iciall. Dr. Dfllll!lns Dionne, agrees that re:nainillg in the
cottage would be dangerous to her health. Because your mother must be able to live
independently in order to live in the cottage, Cumberland Crossings has decided to terminate the
Agreement for the reasons listed above.
Under the Agreement, your mother must vacate her cottage by the date indicated above
and transfer to another facility consistent with her health condition, which condition Cannot be
accommodated within the Cumberland Crossings community. Cumberland Crossings stands
ready to assist you and your mother in making this transition.

ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 11th day of August, 1997, the Court
set a hearing today to consider the request to have the two
children of Violette Roberts appointed plenary guardians of her
person. Appearing today on behalf of Violette Roberts is Marcus
McKnight, Esquire. Appearing today on behalf of the two
children is Robert G. Frey, Esquire.
The parties appeared and took the deposition of
Douglas P. Dionne, M.D., on June 5th, 1997. Dr. Dionne is a
licensed psychiatrist in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I'm
satisfied from his testimony that there should be a guardian of
her person appointed. Both children have agreed to serve as
co-guardians of the person of their mother, and from the remarks

Therefore, the Court does appoint the daughter of
Violette Roberts, Claudia Davis, residing at Quincy, Illinois,
and her son, Gregg Martin, residing at North Carolina as
co-guardians of the person of Violette Roberts, and the Court
will appoint them as plenary guardians of her person at this
time.

7. As set forth in the original Petition filed, the proposed guardians of the person are
your Petitioners and the proposed guardian of thc estate is Financial Trust Services Company
(formerly Farmers Trust Company).
8. After a hearing held on December 16, 1996, the request for appointment of a guardian
of the person for the Respondent was denied, and the request for appointment of Financial Trust
Services Company as limited guardian of the estate of the Respondent was granted. A copy of
this Order of Court is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
9, Petitioners filed a further Petition seeking plenary guardianship of the estate of the
Respondent for the reason that Respondent had retained control of her checking account and for
the reason that the proposed Guardian of the Estate had indicated an unwillingness to assume the
limited guardianship responsibilities. A hearing is scheduled on the hcreinmentioned Petition for

by Cumberland Crossing staff that Respondent was no longcr taking thc medication prescribed
by her Psychiatrist and that she had dismissed the aid lIrranged by Cumberland Crossings to
supervisc and assist Respondent in taking hcr daily medication.
II, On Wedncsday, April 9, 1997, Robert G. Frcy, allorney for Pctitioners, received a
copy of the most recent Report of the Psychiatrist for Rcspondcnt, dated April 3. 1997, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C".
12. The diagnosis indicatcs increased "delusional distortion - from eithcr mcd. non-
compliance or adverse (stimulation) reaction to rned,"
13. Among the recommendations made by the psychiatrist is that Rcspondcnt "will nced
guardianship assignment - and will be at increased risk of morbidity if shc continues to response
to delusional beliefs," The recommendations also increased the dosage of Respondent's
prescription medication.
14. As stated above, Respondent has refuscd to comply with the changed prescription
and has refused to take prescriptions.
15. Petitioners believe that the risk of increased morbidity as stated by the Psychiatrist is
an ernergcncy and that a Guardian of the Person is required so that thc Rcspondent clln be
required to take necessary medication and receive appropriate care to treat her condition.
16. Due to the emergency nature of these circumstances, it is rcquested that the court
waive the requirement that twenty (20) days notice of this proceeding be given to the alleged
incapacitated and that instead only notice be given to her along with service of thc citation for
consideration of these mallcrs at the hearing scheduled for TucsdllY, April, 15. 1997.
WHEREFORE. Petitioners respectfully request that this court award a citation directcd to
Violette Roberts, the alleged incapacitatcd person, with notice and servicc thereof to be given to
her of the hearing scheduled for April 15, 1997 at 2:30 p.m., to show cause why Pctitioners
should not be appointed emergency guardians of her person for thc purpose of consenting to the
admission of Violette Roberts to Cumberland Crossings Nursing Home, with thc emcrgcncy
guardianship to be in effect with respcct to the guardianship of the person for a period of scventy-

IN RE:
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Violette Roberts, an alleged:
Incapacitated Person :
NO. 96-148 ORPHANS' COURT
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 15th day of April, 1997, a hearing
was held today on two issues, one, whether Farmer's Trust
Company should be appointed a plenary guardian of the Estate of
Mrs. Roberts, and two, whether or not the Court at this time
should appoint either a limited or plenary guardian of her
person.
Mr. McKnight, who represents Mrs. ROberts, was
present in court today. Mrs. Roberts was not present.
Mr. McKnight, on behalf of Mrs. Roberts, agreed to the
appointment of Farmer's Trust Company as plenary guardian of the
estate, and I have read in the petition why Farmer's Trust wants
to be appointed plenary guardian of the estate. I believe
that's a reasonable request, and therefore the prior Order of
Court is amended, and it is ordered and directed that Farmer's
Trust Company, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, be appointed plenary
guardian of the estate of Violette Roberts.
A deposition will be taken of the present
psychiatrist for Mrs. Roberts this Thursday. If he recommends
that a guardian of the person be appointed and gives adequate
reasons, I will consider that request. Therefore, upon

M-o-u-n-t, G-r-e-t-n-a, Pennsylvania 17064.
Q. And what is your license to practice?
A. I am a licensed physician with additional

C\ 1 training in psychiatry. And I'm certified with the
..
2 American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
3 Q. And how long have you been practicing?
4 A. I've been practicing since 1982.
5 Q, Have you treated or examined Violette Roberts?
6 A. Yes, I have.
7 Q. Do you know what dates you have seen her?
8 A, I have four consultations. The first initial
9 evaluation was conducted on the 10th of January of this
10 year. There were three subsequent assessments.
11 Unfortunately, two of them were in the absence of the
12 patient who was noncompliant in participating in the
o
13 interview.
14
Q.
Essentially, she did not show up?
15
A.
she was unwilling to make the appointment, so I
16 had to obtain information from the family, feedback from
17 the staff at Cumberland Crossings.
18
Q.
What is the date of your most recent
19 evaluation?
20
A.
Most recent evaluation in which I had access to
21 the patient was on the 3rd of April, 1997,
22
Q.
Did you also have the opportunity to review her
23 medical records?
24
A.
I did, I was particularly able to focus on the

25 consultation which was conducted by a Dr. Nayyan,

Did you also have an opportunity to discuss her
Q.
6 history with any of the staff at Cumberland Crossings?
7
Yes. I received a full report from Ann Moser,
A.
8 who is the clinical social worker at Cumberland
9 Crossings, I was also able to talk to the resident's
10 daughter on a long distance telephone call for
11 corroborating history.
Q. And from these evaluations and the
consultation, what did you observe about her mental and
physical condition?
A. Mrs. Roberts shows evidence of cognitive
decline consistent with a dementia, probably Alzheimer's
type, along with clinic~l depression which appears to have
increased substantially since the death of her husband
four years ago.
She's also experiencing significant delusional
and paranoid distortion in her perception of her
environment, which I think is exacerbated by vision
23 problems, or diagnosed as macular degeneration, as well as
24 perhaps building on a previous personality; paranoid
25 personality style.

I'm even suspicious that perhaps there is
evidence of what is called a Korsakoff psychosis which is
experienced by individuals who consume alcohol, who
subsequently experience significant deficits in memory
which they compensate for by what we call confabulation.
It's like they kind of make up history as they go along;
7 and a fair amount of paranoid defense.
8
Q.
Based on those observations, what have you
9 recommended or attempted to treat those conditions?
10
A,
I was responsive to a court order which
11 indicated that Mrs. Roberts would participate in
12 psychiatric treatment and a trial of medications. What I
had recommended to her initially was the use of an
antipsychotic medication called Risperidone,
R-i-s-p-e-r-i-d-o-n-e, in a very low dosage, along with
possibly a trial of an antidepressant, Prozac,
P-r-o-z-a-c,
The resident was not pleased with these
recommendations because of her fear of having symptoms
like her husband's, who died of Parkinson's disease, And
one of these medications can be associated with
22 Parkinson's symptoms. She was also resistant to taking
23 medication because there is a significant amount of denial
24 of her clinical depression and of her memory deficits,
25 Her rationale is, why should I take medication if I'm not

These are my progress notes on the patient
2 based upon a follow-up discussion,
3
Q.
And that would have been the last
4
A.
The last contact in reviewing her case with the
5 Cumberland Crossings staff.
6
Q.
Under the recommendations portion it states in
7 part that, it is evident that the patient will need
8 guardianship and will be at increased risk of morbidity.
9
A.
Yes.
10
Q.
Can you explain in some detail if you believe
11 that conclusion is still accurate. And if it is, what
guardianship services will be needed?
A. I'd be glad to elaborate. Because of the
increasing paranoid content of her thinking and exclusion
of people who are significant supports to her, I have
concerns that she will make decisions of impulsive
elopement from the facility or possibly unwise financial
decisions if she concludes that there are family members
or Cumberland Crossings staff who are attempting to take
her money; that she may make an unwise decision as to the
management of her financial resources,
The risk of harm is that she does form
23 alliances at times that seem unwise, There is a history
24 in the past also of her having talked about her fears of
25 being killed. I would have concerns that her defensive

~
1 maneuvers in avoiding that would be to possibly isolate
2 herself from support or potentially to harm others because
3 she's not made consistent decisions that are in her best
4 interest. I'm concerned even about her living
5 independently at this point where an increased level of
6 structured care or personal care should be afforded to
7 her.
8 I'm trying to think of specific examples for
22
A.
It did not. The patient has consistently
9 you where she has acted rashly. I believe when she fir3t
10 received evaluation, this lady had gone to Chicago without
11 notifying the staff of her intention to do so, and
12 utilized people who may otherwise have taken advantage of
o
13 her in order to achieve that. Since her cognitive
14 functions have declined progressively since that time, my
15 concern is this would be repeated or other incidents that
16 we can only imagine can occur.
17
Q.
This next question is just a point of
18 clarification for me. The recommendation number three,
19 can you tell me what that says?
20
A.
Number three is follow-up in two weeks,
21
Q,
And that didn't occur?
23 declined consultation with me based upon the fact that she
24 believes that I'm, quote, not a real doctor, unquote.

Also Mrs. Roberts has stayed in touch with them;
unfortunately, sometimes very early in the morning
telephone calls to describe a number of delusional
incidents occurring.
My notion is that they have acted responsively
in keeping informed and have been active participants in
attempting to lead her to appropriate decisions. I have
no reason to doubt that they would be effective as
guardians given at least their recent performance or my
awareness of what they've done.
Q. But it would be your feeling that a move of her
12 closer to one of them would be advantageous?
0 13 A, Because she's had a number of losses, I think
14 her children are important to her. If they're not part of
15 her delusional system and she is able to tolerate living
16 closer to them, that would be one strategy or one
o
17 possibility. It's also possible that she's made a
18 sufficient number of casual acquaintances and friends in
19 this area that she would choose to remain in this area.
20 I'd like to explore that with her,
21 specifically, given an either-or kind of choice, Perhaps
22 she would make -- give us some guidance on that.
23 Q. Are you aware of anyone with whom Mrs. Roberts
24 has close ties who could act as guardian for her other
25 than her children?

(717) 258-3657 or (800) 863-3657
13
o
1
A.
Unfortunately, I'm not. She is not very
2 disclosing of her social contacts here. I would recommend
3 that Ann Moser would probably have better knowledge of
4 that, specifically people that she trusts or that she has
5 worked with; perhaps legal counsel, perhaps an appointed
6 counsel that she has worked with.
7
Q.
From your discussions with Mrs. Roberts'
B children, do you believe they understand her condition as
9 you've explained it?
10
A.
I've only spoken with her daughter. And she
11 seems quite aware of the situation, and is quite
12 distressed at the further deterioration and her
o
13 ineffectiveness in being able to help her mother. The
14 son's involvement at times has been reduced because of,
15 again, Mrs, Roberts paranoia in which she's projected onto
16 their selected spouses that they're hostile or bad or
17 evil. So that it's really strained the relationship that
1B she's had with her son and daughter.
19 Nonetheless, they have responded not as if she
20 were motivated by a bad intent, but simply that she is
21 ill. with dementia and depression, they need to
22 accommodate some of her commentary.
23
Q.
Do you believe that her daughter, since that's
24 the one you've spoken with, concurs with your feelings as
o
25 to what would be the best treatment for her?

~

A.
Yes, I do.
2
Q.
And going back to, I think you stated earlier,
3 concerns regarding her paranoia. Does that make it
4 possible for her to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous
10
Q.
If further hearings in court are necessary,
5 or designing persons?
6
A.
That is possible. It is also possible for her
7 to make independent decisions in which she excludes
8 appropriate help and guidance. And that, in fact, is my
9 greater concern.
11 would Mrs. Roberts presence at court be harmful to her
12 physical or mental condition?
o
13
A.
That's a difficult one to answer since she is
14 not fully reality based in terms of insight as to why
15 people are doing this. It's difficult to predict how she
16 would interpret this action other than more and more
17 people are against her.
18 I believe she -- her interests would be best
19 served if she were not a participant.

A,
It is a diagnosis of exclusion, short of being
2 able to do a specific biopsy procedure, which is usually
3 postmortem. Alzheimer's being the most common cause for
4 dementia changes, it's a diagnosis of presumption.
5 Progression in the dementia changes and increased
6 intensity of paranoia are commonly associated with this.
7 And over time, it tends to confirm the diagnosis. But
8 initially the diagnosis of dementia -- at least as I read
9 both Mr, Martin's and Dr. Nayyan's report -- was that she
10 qualified in a level four of impairment.
11 I would say currently her impairment has

13 reinforcing my inspection of an Alzheimer's dementia. Two
14 other things I would speculate would be the potential for
15 damaging effects of the use of alcohol, and that history
16 is not clearly established. There is also some evidence
17 for pseudodementia, p-s-e-u-d-o, dementia, in which her
18 clinical depression since the death of her husband
19 probably exacerbates her short-term memory deficits.

I did not.

1 loss, I think it would be extremely difficult for her to
2 make that decision for herself. But because of increase
3 in deficits and judgment and insight, I really feel at
4 least at the level of personal care in which there was
5 structure, monitoring with medication use, monitoring diet
6 would be wise,
7 Also, I would expect her clinical depression to
8 intensify. She's very isolated and lonely and only
9 interacts selectively. This has become more and more of
10 an apparent problem. And I would expect if the depression
11 is left untreated, her dementia will accelerate.
MR. MCKNIGHT: Thank you, Doctor. That's all I
MR. FREY: Thank you.

PETITION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS
OF THE ESTATE AND PERSON
IN ACCORDANCE WITH 20 PA. CONS. STAT. A5513
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
The petition of Claudia Davis and Gregg Martin respectfully represent that:
I. Petitioners are Claudia Davis, an adult individual of 2819 Kingsridge, Quincy
Illinois, and Gregg Martin, an adult individual of 8000 Steven's Mill Road, Matthews, North
Carolina. Petitioners are the daughter and son of the nlleged incapacitated person
2. The alleged incapacitated person is Violet Roberts, born on December 4. 1920. She
is 75 years of age and resides in an independent living cottage at Cumberland Crossings
retirement homes, South Middleton Township. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Her mailing
address is 85 Schimmel Way, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013
3, By Order of Court dated April 15, 1997, Farmers Trust Company was appointed
plenary guardian of the estate of Respondent. Said Order further stated that upon deposition of
Respondent's psychiatrist, if the psychiatrist recommended the appointment of a guardian of the
person for Respondent, giving adequate reason therefor, the Coun would consider the request for
appointment of a guardian of the person. A copy of said Order is allachcd hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit "A".
4. A deposition was taken of Douglas p, Dionne. M.D. on June 5, 1997. Dr. Dionne is
a physician certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology who has examined
Respondent and reviewed her medical history. (N.T.3-4) Present at the deposition was Robert
Q, Frey, attorney for Petitioners and Marcus A. McKnight, III, attorney for respondent. A
cenified lranseript of the deposition is filed herewith and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B".
5. Dr. Dionne has concluded that the Respondent suffers from cognitive decline
consistent with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. (N.T. 5, 16) Respondent may additionally
, .
suffer from Korsakoff psychosis caused by alcohol consumption. (N.T.6)
6. Dr. Dionne has noted that Respondcnt's condition has declincd in the last 5 months
causing her to be more paranoid and more delusional in her thinking. (N.T.7, 10, 16)
7. Dr. Dionne has allernpted to treat Respondent but she has been uncooperative and
noncompliant and has rcfused treatment. (N.T. 7, 8, 10) She is unable to make informed
decisions concerning her medical treatment. (N.T.7-8)
8, Respondent's failure to treat her condition a~ prescribed by Dr. Dionne ha~ rcsulted in
weight loss, possible misuse of alcohol, and isolation from others. (N.T. 18-19)
9, Respondent also faces the risk that beclluse of her paranoia, she mllY leave the facility
without adequate preparation for her safety or seek help from person who may take advantage of
her (N.T. 9-10) or may avoid appropriate assistance (N.T. 14).
10. Dr. Dionne has recommended that a guardilln be appointed for her because of her
"increasing paranoid thinking" (N.T. 9) and because of her inability to make informed medical
decisions (N.T. 8),
II, Dr. Dionne has recommended an increased level of structured care is necessary for
the Respondent. This structure should include monitoring of medication use, monitoring of diet,
and assistance in personal care. (N.T. 10, 18-19)
12. If a Guardian of the person is not appointed to make medical decisions on her behalf,
her dementia and depression will accelerate (N.T. 19), she will be in greater risk of placing
herself in dangerous situations (N.T. 10), and there will be greater risk of harm to others (N.T.
10).
13. Petitioners have kept informed a~ to Respondent's condition (N.T. II), have kcpt in
contact with Respondent (N.T. 12), have allernpted to assist Rcspondent to make decisions on her
own (N.T. 12), one of the Petitioners has consultcd directly with Dr. Dionne (N.T. 13) and are in
agreement with Dr. Dionne's rccommendations for Respondent (N.T. 13-14). and would
cffective guardians for her, (N.T. 12)
14. Dr. Dionne is unawarc of anyone else who could act as guardian for Rcspondent
(N.T. 13). Petitioners are also unaware of anyone who could act as guardian of the person of
Respondent, other than Petitioners.
14. Petitioners believe that Respondent's psychiatrist ha~ recommended the appointrncnt
of the Guardian of the Person of Respondent and hilS provided convincing testimony
documenting the need for the appointment.
r"
,....__.."_._-,,.._.~...
15. The Probate, Estlltes, and Fiduciaries Code, 20 Pa.C.S.A.~ 5518 provides:
To establish incapacity. the petitioner must present testimony. in person or by
deposition from individuals qualified by training and experience in evaluating
individuals with incapacities of the type alleged by the petitioner, which establishes
the nature and extent of the alleged II1capacities and disabilities and the person's
mental, emotional and physical condition, adaptive behavior and socilll skills. The
petition must also present evidence regarding the serviccs being utilized to meet
essential requirements for the alleged incapacitated person's physical health and
safety, to manage the person's financial resources or to develop or regain the
person's abilities; evidence regarding the types of assistance required by thc person
and as to why no less restrictive alternatives would be appropriate; and evidence
regarding the probability that the extent of the person's incapacities may
significantly lessen or change.
16, Petitioners believe that the testimony of Dr. Dionne filed hcrewith represcnts
testimony by an individual qualified by training and expericnce in evaluating individuals with
incapacities of the type alleged by Petitioners.
17. Petitioners believe that the testimony of Dr. Dionne and tcstimony at prior hearings by
Petitioners and by others familiar with the Respondent establish that the Respondent is totally
incapacitated, unable to make responsible decisions conccrning hcr medical needs, personal care,
or financial well being, based on a mental condition dillgnosed as dementia of the Alzheimer's
type coupled with paranoia which condition is exaccrbated by physical limitations of visual
impairment caused by macular degeneration.
18. Petitioners believe the testimony of Dr. Dionne and testimony at prior hearings by
Petitioners and by others familiar with the Respondent establish that Respondent has at various
times utilized services at Cumberland Crossings to assist hcr in meal preparation, tllking of
medication, and medical evnluation but because of Respondent's incapacity she has tcrminated all
of these services which are necessary to mect her essential needs.
19. Petitioners believe the testimony of Dr. Dionne and testimony at prior hearings by
Petitioners and by others familiar with the Rcspondent establish that the Respondent is in need of
supervised care through an inpatient nursing carc facility to provide Respondent with a~sistance
for her personal care and meal preparation and to providc medication to Respondent as prescribed
by treating physicians.
20. Petitioners believe the testimony of Dr. Dionne and testimony at prior hearings by
Petitioners and by others familiar with the Respondent establish that less restrictive rnellsures have
been attempted to provide Respondent with scrvices needed to meet her essential requirerncnts for
physical health and safety, but that these less restrictive measures have all failed because of
Respondent's refusal to cooperate, which refusal is caused by her incapacity.
21. Petitioners believe that the record, including the two previous hearings and the
Deposition of Dr. Dionne filed hercwith presents clear and convincing evidencc, without further
hearing, to establish the total incapacity of the Respondent.
22, The Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, 20 Pa.C.S.A. ~55 13 permits the
appointment of an emergency guardian or guardians of the person "when it appears that the
person lacks capacity, is in need of a guardian and a failure to make such lIppointrnent will result
in irreparable harm to the person...ofthe allegcd incapacitated person.... An crnergency order
appointing an emergency guardian of the estate shall not cxceed 30 days."
WHEREFORE, Petitioners rcspectfully request that this Court appoint Pctitioners
Temporary Guardians of the Person of Violelle Roberts for a period not to cxceed 30 days and
award a citation directed to Viole lie Robcrts. thc alleged incapacitated person, with notice and
service thereof to be given to her, to show cause why Respondent should not be found to be
incapacitated and Petitioners appointed plenary guardians of her person.

IN RE:
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
violette Roberts, an alleged:
Incapacitated Person
NO. 96-148 ORPHANS' COURT
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 15th day of April, 1997, a hearing
was held today on two issues, one, whether Farmer's Trust
Company should be appointed a plenary guardian of the Estate of
Mrs. Roberts, and two, whether or not the Court at this time
should appoint either a limited or plenary guardian of her
person.
Mr. McKnight, who represents Mrs. Roberts, was
present in court today. Mrs. Roberts was not present.
Mr. McKnight, on behalf of Mrs. Roberts, agreed to the
appointment of Farmer's Trust Company as plenary guardian of the
estate, and I have read in the petition why Farmer's Trust wants
to be appointed plenary guardian of the estate. I believe
that's a reasonable request, and therefore the prior Order of
Court is amended, and it is ordered and directed that Farmer's
Trust Company, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, be appointed plenary
guardian of the estate of Violette Roberts.
A deposition will be taken of the present
psychiatrist for Mrs. Roberts this Thursday. If he recommends
that a guardian of the person be appointed and gives adequate
reasons, I will consider that request. Therefore, upon
fXHIBIT "A"
