Frank N. Yurcisin, an Alleged Incapacitated Person
Orphan's Court Division No. 21-02-385
Dear Judge Hoffer:
I am the attorney for the Petitioner, United Church of Christ Homes, Inc. in the above-listed
case. A guardianship hearing has been scheduled before you for May 20, 2002 at 10:30 a.m. I do
not expect either the Respondent or any family member to challenge this Petition Requesting
Appointment of Guardian for the Estate of Frank N. Yurcisin.
I spoke with your staff and was advised that you do not require the presence and testimony
of the attending physician, George P. Branscum, Jr., M.D., under such circumstances. Rather, a
physician's affidavit as to the Respondent's condition, as well as the fact that it would not be in his
best interest to attend the hearing will suffice. Likewise, the proposed guardian, Neighborhood
Services, Harrisburg, need not attend the hearing so long as the guardian's consent is part of the
record. That has been attached to the petition.
If either of these assumptions are incorrect and you expect the physician or the guardian to
attend this hearing, please advise me immediately so I can make those arrangements.
Very truly yours,
FEATHER AND FEATHER, P.C.

PHYSICIAN'S AFFIDAVIT REGARDING FRANK N. YURCISIN . 5 ..,~j",
George P. Branscum, Jr., M.D., being duly sworn according to law, deposes and says the
following:
I am a medical doctor licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania since 4-/ 19 7~ am currently practicing medicine through
Belvedere Medical Center, Family Practice, 850 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, PA 17013, since
17 -'" 191~ In addition to my Family Practice at Belvedere Medical
Center, I have been the Medical Director for the Sarah Todd Memorial Home since 19 il.
Based upon my training and experience in evaluating individuals with incapacities such
as those which I am about to describe, I found the following. One of my patients at the Sarah
Todd Memorial Home is FrankN. Yurcisin, DOB 2/20/1923, SSN 140-14-1920. Mr. Yurcisin
has been a resident at the Sarah Todd Memorial Home and my patient since June 27, 2001. Mr.
Yurcisin has multiple medical problems including post-op carcinoma ofthe colon and dementia.
As a result ofms multiple medical problems, the exact etiology of his dementia is not able to be
determined -vvith current testing.
Mr. Yurcisin is severely mentally impaired with a Mini Mental Status of 3 out of29,
which would indicate severe cognitive impairment. The lower a patient's score, the more severe
the impairment. He is not able to commwricate in any meaningful fashion with other individuals.
Since admission, this impainnent.has been stable at best or slowly worsening, and I would not
expect it to improve.
He requires total care including help with feeding, bathing, dressing and all other
essential personal hygiene activities. He is wheelchair-boWld. This requires close observation of
Mr. Yurcisin, because of the danger offalling and suffering injuries. Because of his requirement
of total care, he could not be cared for in a less restrictive environment. The nursing staff at the
Sarah Todd Memorial Home provides the selVices essential for Mr. Yurcisin's physical health
and safety.
~5-13-~2 14:24 RECEIVED FROM:717S575~74 P.~3

. ,,,)/ ,j/ L L ..) . ,....1 } '..) .. U . "_" "_
Mr. Yurcisin's condition is expected to slowly worsen, since this is the natural history of
the diseases at this point, and there is almost no likelihood of his improving in his cognitive skills
or ability to provide for his own care. ..
Based upon Frank N. Yurcisin's conditions described above, I am of the opinion that his
ability to receive and evaluate information effectively and communicate decisions, in any way, is
impaired to such a significant extent that he is totally unable to manage his financial resources or
meet the essential requirements for his physical health and safety.
Based upon the conditions described above, I am also of the opinion that the physical and
mental condition of Frank N. Yurcisin would be harmed by his presence at the hearing to decide
if a guardian should be appointed for his Estate.

Dementia.
..'HISTORY.OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is a 78-year-old gentleman resident of Shippensburg who
. .....'apparently.has been having bizarre behavior of last. The police and the Office of Aging had brought him
. in. They tried to psychiatrically admit this patient but he is really just simply an elderly demented man in
my opinion and he cannot be legally be placed under a 302. He is a veteran and they attempted to admit
him to the dementia unit at the local veteran's hospital but they not do weekend intakes so I am consulted
'to admit this patient essentially for social reasons until they can get him transferred on Monday. There is
family around~p;Tt1ere are no police who know about him at this point and so I know essentially very little.
He is confused. He is not reliable. He says he lIas rectal cancer or that is what he eludes to but he is
. really not sure. He is disoriented but pleasant and cooperative. -

RE: Frank N. Yurcisin
Dear Mr. Feather;
Frank N. Yurcisin is presently a patient at the Sarah Todd Nursing
Home with multiple medical problems including post-op carcinoma of the
colon and dementia. with his multiple medical problems the exact
etiology of his dementia is not able to be determined with current
testing.
He is severely impaired with a Mini Mental Status of 3 out of 29
which would indicate severe cognitive impairment. This has been stable
or slowly worsening and would not expect it to be improved.
He requires total care including help with feeding. Also requires close
observation because of the danger of falling with injury. Because of
his requirement for total care he could not be cared for in a lesser
restrictive environment. His condition is expected to ~lowly worsen
since this is the natural history of the disease at this point and there
is almost no likelihood of him improving in his cognitive skills or
ability to provide his own care.

PETITION TO VACATE APPOINTMENT OF A GUARDIANSHIP ,-
AND NOW comes Lisa Jo McCoy, of Nikolaus & Hohenadel, LLC. on behalf of
Neighborhood Services, Inc. to file the within Petition.
1. Petitioner is Neighborhood Services, Inc., a nonprofit organization with the
principal place of business located at 134 South Prince Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17608.
2. By an Order of Court dated May 31, 2002 Petitioner was appointed as plenary
permanent guardian of the estate of Frank N. Yurcisin based on his impaired ability to receive
and evaluate information effectively.
3. The purpose of the guardianship of the estate of Frank N. Yurcisin was because
he owned property at the time that needed to be disposed of.
4. The property has since been sold with the proceeds applied toward Mr. Yurcisin's
estate.
5. Mr. Yurcisin has no other assets. Mr. Yurcisin is a resident at the Sarah Todd
Memorial Home located at 1000 W. South Street. Carlisle, Pa., 17013. His sole source of income
is social security benefits that are paid directly to the Memorial Home. Sarah Todd Memorial
Home is the rep payee for Mr. Yurcisin's social security benefits.
6. As Mr. Yurcisin has no other assets or sources of income, there is no need for
Neighborhood Services to continue acting as the plenary permanent guardian of the estate of
Frank N. Yurcisin.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the appointment of Neighborhood
Services of the plenary permanent guardian of Frank N. Yurcisin be vacated.
Respectfully submitted,
