Be aware of each page you sign when your loved one becomes a resident at Gino Merli…a number of months after my brother’s passing, I received a letter from Gino Merli….The letter listed monetary claims for additional costs of care for my brother, claiming $155,000 from his estate….this resulted in costly legal fees for us to handle the situation; and subsequent payment to Gino Merli….

J was telling me about this extraordinary place. Wide opening doors for all the veterans who need to come in with wheelchairs. Large spaces, so cranking your wheels? Not necessary! This VA is even named after a WWII hero from northeastern Pennsylvania who received the Medal of Honor! Let’s take a moment to reflect and appreciate the (GMVC) in downtown Scranton (Lackawanna County). If you are a visitor, the GMVC greets you depending on which of the five branches of the Armed Forces you served. If my logic is correct, this greeter system is spot on. It’s like a gala for troops!
