Yes and no.

If the summons is not addressed to you, you are not legally required to accept it, however, if the person is living with you, then the officer is allowed to leave the summons with you.

If you refuse to accept the summons, and the person lives there, the officer may tack and mail a copy to your residence for that person, which will complete service.
