The following persons or institutions provide the listed services to the Incapacitated Person: Name Address Service Golden Living Center 770 Poplar Church Road Residential Skilled Camp Hill, PA 17011 Nursing Services Thomas Kunkle 550 Brandt Avenue Attending physician New Cumberland, PA 17070 AlixaRX 1041 Washington Pike Ste 100 Prescriptions Bridgeville, PA 15017 6. The Incapacitated Person's physicians have diagnosed her physical and mental condition as including Methicillin Resistant Pneumonia Due to Staphylococcus Aureus, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Epilepsy, and Chronic Depressive Personality Disorder. These physicians have opined that the Alleged Incapacitated Person's functional limitations include an inability, without the care, supervision and the continued assistance of others, to satisfy requirements for nourishment, personal and medical care, shelter, self-protection and safety, and the management of financial resources, and that the treatment rendered to date has been unsuccessful in significantly improving the aforementioned conditions and functional limitations. 7. Golden Living Center has been advised and believes that the Incapacitated Person's ability to receive and evaluate information effectively and to communicate responsible decisions is significantly impaired and currently preclude the Incapacitated Person from independently attending to issues of medical treatment, residential care and all matters concerning personal affairs and also the management of any financial affairs. 8. On or about September 9, 2014, Golden Living Center, by and through counsel, requested the appointment of a guardian due to medical and psychiatric information received (as set forth above), which information contributed to Golden Living Center's belief that the Incapacitated Person is totally incapacitated within the meaning of 20 Pa.C.S. §§ 5501, et seq. with regard to matters concerning the Alleged Person's person. A copy of the Petition for Appointment of Guardian is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 9. Keystone Guardianship Services, with an address of P.O. Box 804, Elizabethville, PA 17023, was identified in that Petition as a potential Guardian of the person. 10. On November 6, 2014, following a hearing on the same date, an Order was issued, appointing Keystone Guardianship Services as "plenary, permanent guardian of the person." A copy of the Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "B." 11. While the language of the Order and the request of Golden Living Center was only to appoint Keystone Guardianship Services as guardian of theep rson of the Incapacitated Person, the title of the Order purported to appoint Keystone Guardianship Services as "Permanent Plenary Guardian of the Person and Estate." See Exhibit B, title (emphasis added). 12. To the knowledge of Keystone Guardianship Services, the Incapacitated Person has no gross estate and her income is limited to Social Security benefits of $679.00 per month for which Social Security may appoint a representative payee. 13. Due to the Incapacitated Person's general medical conditions, it is believed that the Incapacitated Person's treating physicians would likely find that her presence in court would be harmful and detrimental to her physical or mental condition. 14. To the best of Keystone Guardianship Services knowledge, information and belief, there has never been a prior guardian of the person or the estate who has been appointed for the Incapacitated Person. 15. As the Court that issued the Order appointing Keystone Guardianship Services as guardian, this Court has jurisdiction over this matter. 16. Therefore, to avoid any further confusion and ambiguity regarding the intentions of the parties and the Court, Keystone Guardianship Services requests that this Court enter an Order in the attached form, appointing Keystone Guardianship Services as Permanent Plenary Guardian of the Person only. WHEREFORE, Keystone respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter an Order in the attached form, amending the Order of November 6, 2014, and appointing Keystone Guardianship Services as Permanent Plenary Guardian of the Person only.
