    Josh Wagner was the agent. He showed me the options I had, explained the differences in plans, answered all my questions, and never pressured me. I have confidence that the options I chose were the best for me. I would definitely recommend to others.

    I’ve never felt more confident and taken care of when it comes to insurance! Bailey Deyoung is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping people find the right coverage. She took the time to explain all my options in a way that made sense, and made what is usually a stressful process feel smooth and simple. If you’re looking for someone who truly puts your needs first, she’s the one to call. Highly recommend!

Find out how Bankers Life long-term care insurance can offer you or a loved one the flexibility and independence you deserve. Someone may need long-term care if they can no longer perform activities of daily living on their own (such as eating, bathing, dressing, or taking medications). These assisted care needs usually arise as part of the normal aging process, but can also occur as a result of injury, illness, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care can be costly and Medicare may not cover many of the expenses. Long-term care insurance pays benefits for assisted care services received at a facility or at home
