The Cumberland County Aging and Community Services became er��er'�ncy g�arc�rm
of person and estate of Sven Jensen on September 1, 2009. The he�ing was hsld � 4
front of Judge Ebert who at the conclusion of this hearing ordered Mr. Jensen to York
Hospital for alcohol detox. Mr. Jensen upon discharge from the York hospital was
admitted to Manor Care Carlisle Arcadia unit. On September 29, 2011 a permanent
guardianship hearing was held in front of Judge Ebert. Cumberland Co. Aging and
Community Services was awarded permanent guardian of person and Keystone
Guardianship Inc. was awarded permanent guardian of estate. Mr. Jensen upon
discharge from the York hospital was admitted to Manor Care Carlisle Arcadia unit.
At the time of his admission to Manor Care, Mr. Jensen was diagnosed with organic
brain syndrome with psychotic features, alcohol abuse, Wernicke's encephalopathy,
depression and thiamine deficiency. There have been no new diagnoses at this time.
Mr. Jensen resided at Manor Care until December 2009 when he was transferred to
Arden Courts Assisted Living in Harrisburg. It was decided by the guardians and the
staff at Manor Care that Mr. Jensen upon stabilizing and adjusting to facility placement
would be more appropriate in a secured Memory Unit Assistive Living arrangement. He
continues to reside there today and continues to do well in this setting.
Arden Court staff is providing for his medical needs and sees his primary care doctor
Dr. Zanetti on a routine basis. He also receives dental and vision on a regular basis..
Staff monitors his mood, behavior and cognition on a daily basis.
The staff provides assistance with medication administration and require cueing and
much encouragement to complete all personal hygiene tasks including showering and
brushing teeth. He is independent with dressing and undressing. He requires routine
laundry and housekeeping services. Mr. Jensen is able to communicate he needs
appropriately.
Mr. Jensen no longer attends the activities he has in the past. When asked by Aging
staff why he has stopped going he states he worked all his life and now he doesn't want

to do anything but relax. Apparently the relationship with a woman at the facility has
cooled since Aging staff has seen her with another man.
Christmas gifts were prepared and given to the staff to give him on Christmas morning.
Sven had one major issue for which he had several anger outbursts. In June he got new
glasses because he was complaining of not being able to see with his old. He did not
like the new glasses claiming he could not see when painting with white paint outside or
when driving, neither of which he does. He was complaining to a staff member at the
home and became so upset he raised his fist to her so she her office.
The other issue this year was that Sven has become a very picky eater. He is not
underweight so there is no concern about his weight. The main problem is that he has
influenced other residents to not eat certain foods that he thought were not good for
them.
It is the request of the Cumberland County Aging and Community Services that this
agency retain Guardianship of Person for Mr. Sven Jensen. Arden Court has
demonstrated an adequate quality of care for his medical and overall well-being. We
believe, therefore, that Mr. Sven Jensen should continue to reside in that Assisted
Living memory care unit.
