PERSON o� : n
On July 8, 2011 a guardianship hearing was held before Judge Guido. Cuml;erland�, y o
County Aging and Community Services was appointed his Permanent Plenary Guaftlian -:l
of Person and Estate. Mr. Benami had lived at the Molly Pitcher Hotel and moved to
public housing when it closed. At the time of the hearing, Mr. Benami was a patient at a
Holy Spirit Behavioral Health. Upon discharge, he was placed at Manor Care-Carlisle
where he still resides.
He was diagnosed with: dementia, hypertension, anemia, congestive heart failure,
generalized weakness, unsteady gait, legally blind, glaucoma, chronic paranoid
schizophrenia, anxiety, history of rambling speech and history of disorganized speech.
He is at risk for falls due to his unsteady gait and vision impairment. He has episodes of
incontinence of bowel and bladder. His medications must be administered to him and he
requires cueing and reminders for activities of daily living, such as personal care. He
requires total assistance with his instrumental activities of daily living such as laundry
and meal preparation.
Mr. Benami seemed to adjust well to life at the nursing home. He eats his meals in the
dining room, likes the food, and has no issues with his roommates or other residents.
He spends a lot of time in his room listening to his radio which is his favorite activity. A
talking watch was purchased for him from the Tri-County Blind Association.
Funeral plans were mace with Hollinger funeral home. The plan is for cremation with the
remains being returned to the family as requested by his brother Alfred Means.
In July of this year David began to experience a decline. He has been having trouble
swallowing and has been placed on a mechanical soft diet. He is also retaining fluid.
The home is continuing to do lab work to watch his potassium level.
Mr. Benami is visited by Aging staff every 30-60 days and staff attend quarterly care
plans where they meet with nursing, dietary, activities, and social services staff.
His brother, Alfred Means who lives in Philadelphia is kept informed of our visits.

It is the request of the Cumberland County Office of Aging that the agency retain
Guardianship of Person and Estate for David Benami. Manor Care-Carlisle has
demonstrated an adequate quality of care for his medical problems. We believe,
therefore, that David Benami should continue to reside in that nursing facility.
ESTATE
After becoming guardian, the agency set up a guardianship checking account for him at
F&M Trust. Application was made to Social Security for the agency to become rep
payee and this was granted.
His income includes Social Security which currently is $486 and $90 from the VA. The
monthly payment to Manor Care is currently $341.05. Cumberland County Aging
receives a monthly guardianship fee of$100 as allowed by Medical Assistance and was
included in the court order. The only other expense this year was $150 for new clothes.
These were necessary due to his loss of weight.
A summary of David Benami's income and expenses are attached. Also included is a
copy of the check register.
