On November 6, 2007 Judge M. L. Ebert appointed the Cumberland Cou~ty Officea~f
Aging the emergency temporary Guardian of the Person and Estate of Lieselotte Sc~lall.
She is also known as Rosemary Schall, Rosemary Sanchez, and Lieselotte Chubb.
Following the hearing, Ms. Schall was transported from the Carlisle Regional Center to
the Shippensburg Health Care Center where she was admitted. On December 5, 2007,
the Cumberland County Office of Aging was appointed Permanent Guardian of the
Person and Estate.
At the time of her admission Ms. Schall was diagnosed with dementia with psychotic
features, chronic atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension,
ambulation dysfunction, hypothyroidism. She was later diagnoses with
gastroesophageal reflux disease, respiratory failure and allergic rhinisitis..Ms. Schall
adjusted fairly well to being in a nursing home. At first, in her delusional state, she was
often seeking her dog, claiming some one had stolen it.

About fine months after her admission, she was placed on palliative care because of her
advanced heart disease. This also made her eligible for hospice services. The hospice
aides provided companionship, hands on care, provide emotional support. The hospice
chaplain also made visits to her. Hospice would give case manager updates on her
physical health. Hospice discharged her in November because was doing well and not
experiencing any decline.
The Office set up funeral arrangements with the Hollinger Funeral Home in Mt. Holly.
It is the request of the Cumberland County Office of Aging that the agency retains
Guardianship of Person for Lieselotte Schall. The Shippensburg Health Care Center
has demonstrated an adequate quality of care for her medical and mental problems. We
believe, therefore, that Ms. Schall should continue to reside in that nursing facility.
