Report from Guardian of Person
Cumberland County Office of Aging
Janet Paull, Aging Care Manager III
,
..
:..,.... "
On May 25,2005 Guardianship of Person for Mr. Moffitt Moffitt was granted by
Judge Edward E. Guido to the Cumberland County Office of Aging. Prior to this
appointment, on April 22, 2005 Judge Guido ordered that Mr. Moffitt be taken into the
custody of the Office of Aging in order for him to have appropriate physical and mental
health evaluations. This was done under the Older Adults Protective Services Act. Following
the hearing, Mr. Moffitt was taken to the Emergency Room at Holy Spirit Hospital for
medical tests. He became combative to the point he was admitted to the Holy Spirit
Behavioral Health Unit under a 302 commitment. During this admission, mental illness was
ruled out but Mr. Moffitt was diagnosed with hepatitis C, liver cirrhosis and dementia.
On June 8, 2005 Mr. Moffitt was admitted to the West Shore Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center's dementia unit. This was the only facility that was willing to take
Mr. Moffitt. As part of the admission process, the Office of Aging applied for Medical
Assistance. This was granted. At time of admission, Mr. Moffitt was able to walk around the
unit and communicate with staff. Initially, he was able to feed himself, although he had
difficulty. He especially liked to listen to music and play checkers. Mr. Moffitt was later
diagnosed with an enlarged spleen.
By mid November Mr. Moffitt began to decline quite rapidly and on December 6,
2005 he was moved off the dementia unite because he could no longer feed himself and was
incontinent of bladder. He was also very lethargic.
On January 3, 2006 Mr. Moffitt was admitted to Holy Spirit Hospital. We received a
call from the attending physician the next day. He told us Mr. Moffitt was very ill with end
stage liver disease, a urinary tract infection, dehydration and was unresponsive with possible
liver failure. The doctor told us his chance of recovery was a "long shot" and he suggested
palliative care only. The Office of Aging agreed. On January 20, 2006 Mr. Moffitt began
receiving additional care through Asera Hospice. On February 1,2006 I was notified by the
social worker at Asera Hospice that Mr. Moffitt's condition worsened. He was using more
oxygen, his color was poor and his respirations were slowing. I notified the family of this
Rt
change in his condition and recommended they visit. Mr. Moffitt died on February 3, 2006.
Causes of death that were listed on the death certificate were respiratory failure hepatic
failure, and chronic active hepatitis C.
During Mr. Moffitt's hospitalization and admission to a nursing home, he was visited
numerous times by Office of Aging staff. In addition, we met with nursing home staff for
care plan meetings and other issues, purchased clothing and other needed items for Mr.
Moffitt. Two Office of Aging staff also attended his funeral on February 11,2006.

Report from Guardian of Estate
Cumberland County Office of Aging
Janet Paull, Aging Care Manager III

~ On May 25,2005 Guardianship of Estate for Mr. Moffitt Moffitt was granted by
Judge Edward E. Guido to the Cumberland County Office of Aging. Several months prior to
this,Mr. Moffitt's nephew, who had been made Power-of- Attorney, opened a checking
account for him. The deposits were Mr. Moffitt's monthly Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) check. This was his only income since he did not qualify for Social Security. Monies
transferred from this account ($1500.00) were used to start a guardianship account at
Orrstown Bank.
The Office of Aging applied for Medical Assistance for Mr. Moffitt, which began in
September 2005. At that point in time his SSI benefit was reduced to $30. Additional monies
were transferred from the other account, closing out that account.
Early in January, 2005 prepaid funeral arrangements were made with the Egger
Funeral home in Newville, where Mr. Moffitt formerly lived. Mr. Egger was willing to make
the arrangements even though the available funds were $200 dollars less than the lowest
priced arrangement. When it became apparent that Mr. Moffitt's death was very imminent, a
check for the remainder of his account ($17.37) was sent to the funeral home.
Attached are copies of a spread sheets representing Mr. Moffitt's guardianship
checking account and an income/expense statement.
