Cross Secretary November 15, 2010 Terr~arley Report for Guardian of Person ~ ~Tyector Cumberland County Aging and Community Services c ° ~ =. :-„=c~ ,~ Janet Paull, Aging Care Manager 3 ~~'_~' ~ Initially Keystone Guardianship Services was the Power-of-Attorney for Wiltiable~ _ - ='; Because of disagreements between Keystone and Wilbur and his son, Marrbley ~,, , ^ ~.`~' l ~..,1 over the sale of the house and the disposition of his private property, Keysto~~sked,~q be relieved of this appointment. His son, Marc Hubley, is incarcerated at thezCamp HiA~' Prison for life with no possibility of parole. A psychological evaluation was done and it was determined that his mental capacity had decreased to the point that he would be unable to name another power-of-attorney and that a guardian would need to be appointed. On August 6, 2009 Cumberland County Aging and Community Services was appointed Permanent Plenary Guardian of Person and Estate. He continues to reside at Country Meadows in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Due to the complex needs of Wilbur, our office invests an extensive amount of time meeting these needs. Wilbur has numerous serious medical issues. I accompanied him to his appointment with Dr. Spizzaieri of Associated Cardiologist. The doctor advised me that Willbur was diagnosed with severe lung disease, severe pulmonary disease and severe heart disease include hypertension, congestive heart failure and a history of a myocardia infarct (heart attack). He is also in renal failure. Because of the extensive medical problems they are providing conservative management. Wilbur also has prostate cancer for which, in the past, he has refused surgery. The current treatment of this disease is a hormone shot every 6 months. He also uses a catheter which has to be changed every month. This is done by visiting nurses. His primary care physician is Dr. Ghosh of Azizkhan Associates who sees him at County Meadows. I also accompanied Wilbur to see their physician's assistant on two occasions to have wax removed from his ears. I have also accompanied Wilbur to eye appointments at Kilmore Eye Associates where we were advised that he has macular degeneration. Special vitamins were recommended and were purchased. He also got new glasses this year because the others broke.. I also accompanied him to see Dr. Vander Ark for an evaluation on his hearing. We were advised that he has nerve damage that could not be repaired. Upon his recommendation, we purchased an amplifier for the television. After the necessary arrangements were made, we began taking Wilbur to see Marc at that Camp Hill Prison every other week. We picked him up at Country Meadows and EM:\Tl, U5 A'C aging@ccpa.net OR ViSI'f OUR WfsBSITF, A"T www.ccpa.net/aging take him to the prison where we assisted him in registering for each visit and locker for him to store items not allowed in the prison. We also withdraw from getting a account $25 in ones, fives and change to take in with him. Where he meets Marc the are a lot of vending machines that Marc can use. This seems to be the highli ht of th re visit for Marc. After Wilbur is called to go through the metal and drug detectors e goes outside and down the walk to the building where he visits. After the first vi t token meet Marc and to discuss some things with him, we no longer go with Wilbur to the visitation building where he goes for his a at 1:OOpm and return him to Country Meadows imately 3 hour visit. We then pick him up In May, 2010 Country Meadows requested the Wilbur pay for a personal aide t in getting him ready on the days he visits Marc. Wilbur gets very excited and a ~ assist gitated on these days and takes a lot of their time. We decided to also have this aide drive to the prison and stay with him until he goes in to see Marc. After checkin with sWilbur agencies, the only one willing to do this was Country Meadows at Home. His aide'Seral very nice and this has worked out well. We meet the aide at Country Meadows rior t each visit to deliver the $25 dollars in the clear plastic bag and his picture ID. We th o pick him up at the end of his visit and take him back to Country Meadows. In en September, the Protective Services case workers and the aide from Count Me In Home Services took Wilbur to Red Lobster for his birthday and gave himm somadows presents. He was very appreciative and excited. e It is the request of Cumberland County Aging and Community Services that the a retains Guardianship of Person for Wilbur Hubley. Country Meadows of Mechani sbury has demonstrated an adequate quality of care for client by managing his dail nee g Therefore, we believe that Wilbur should continue to reside in that assisted livin fa s ' g cihty.
