Rovegno GUARDIANSHIP REPORT Vice Chairman FOR NANCY HOERNER Barbara B. Cross Secretary Terry L Bazley January 22, 2010 Director Report from Guardian of Person Cumberland County Office of Aging Janet Paull, Aging Care Manager 3 On March 14, 2006 Judge Kevin Hess appointed the Cumberland County Office of Aging Emergency Plenary Guardian of Person for Nancy Hoerner and on April 6, 2006 the agency was named Nancy's Permanent Plenary Guardian. On April 18, 2006, following a brief stay in the Behavioral Health Unit of Chambersburg Hospital, Nancy was admitted to the South Mountain Restoration Center, South Mountain, PA where she is currently staying. Nancy was diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia, adjustment disorder with disturbance of conduct, and cognitive disorder which was more recently diagnosed as alzheimer's disease. Nancy has had occasional disagreements with other residents but usually the facility's staff has done a good job in addressing these issues. At one point Nancy was given a private room on the same floor because of continued negative interactions with her room mate. She seems to be much happier with this arrangement. She does have a history of hitting the caregivers for no apparent reason as attention seeking behavior. Because South Mountain Restoration Center is in Franklin County our office began to pursue the transfer of guardianship to Franklin County. Soon after that time -Nancy was diagnosed with possible breast cancer as a result of a mammogram. Initially she reused to go for a biopsy. It was decided, therefore, that the transfer should be put on hold until these issues were resolved. Ms. Hoerner eventually agreed to the biopsy and she was found to be negative of cancer but atypical cells were found. She was put on amoxophen for 5 years. Since these issues were resolved, transfer proceedings were resumed. On December 22, 2009 Judge Hess signed the court order transferring her guardianship to the Franklin County Area Agency on Aging. Attached is a copy of the court order. CUMBERLAND COUNTY AGING & COMMUNITY SERVICES EMr1IL US AT aging@ccpa.net OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT ~vww.ccpa.net/aging I .
