The Cumberland County Aging and Community Services became emerg�ncy g�rdi�rn
of person and estate of Sven Jensen on September 1, 2009. The he�ng was fa�ld iK» �
front of Judge Ebert who at the conclusion of this hearing ordered Mr. Jensen t°L�ork
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. The most
assessment still finds him personal care level, as opposed to nursing care level.
Medications include aspirin 81 mg for antiplatelet, tums 500mg for indigestion,
citalopram 20mg for depression, Aricept 23mg for dementia, Ativan .5mg anxiety,
multivitamin as a supplement and Omeprazole 20mg for reflux, Seroquel 100mg for
organic brain syndrome and depression, Senokot as needed for constipation, Vitamin B-
1 and Vitamin B-12 as supplements, Tylenol 500mg as needed for pain or fever, and
Milk of Magnesia as needed for constipation. The staff provides assistance with
medication administration.
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.

During the summer Sven started to complain of stomach pain. Tests were done in order
to rule out colon and stomach cancer. It was determined that his loss of appetite and
stomach pain was caused by an over consumption of ice cream that was made
available for snacking. Because of his, ice cream is no longer available for snacking to
any of the residents. He is doing better.
Sven requires cueing by staff 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 attends only a few activities when he feels up to it. There were no angry
outbursts reported this year. Christmas gifts were prepared and given to the staff to give
him on Christmas morning.
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.
