Tobe Gerard, CLTC, MBA, MLS

Tobe founded her agency because of her family experience with caregiving, which engrained in her a deep belief that long term care insurance planning is one of the most important parts of retirement planning. Her agency has always been independent, and represents multiple insurers. Many leading financial and legal professionals throughout the United States refer their clients to Tobe Gerard Insurance.

Tobe’s father needed 4 years of long term care; her mom needed 10 months. The sacrifices made by the family resulted in Tobe thinking there has to be a better way. “We have mandated insurance coverage for autos and homes,” Tobe says, “People should understand what their choices are regarding planning to pay for care well in advance of a crisis.” Decades later, helping clients make an informed decision about long term care insurance remains her agency’s unwavering goal.

In addition to being a highly-credentialed long term care insurance professional, Tobe has lobbied for rate stabilization, been a national faculty member for the James K. Ruble program, and has served on numerous community boards. She has been a Rotarian for over 15 years, and currently serves as chairperson of the Scholarship Committee for the Southbridge, MA chapter.

PROCESS

Tobe and her team do not believe in a one-size-fits all approach to insurance, and instead focus on tailoring the best long term care protection for each client. The process starts with an online health pre-qualification form to determine what options are likely available, and continues with quotes from a variety of companies, all customized to the client’s situation.

Tobe and her team look forward to working with you!

Testimonials

Nine years ago my family and I purchased a long term care policy for my mother from Tobe Gerard. Tobe was wonderful to work with, helping us find a policy that was affordable and that provided a basic safety net for my mother. Now, my mother is 92 years old and needs to draw on her policy benefits. I called Tobe for help in navigating the claims process. She jumped right in, got things moving and my mother is now receiving needed benefits. What impressed me most about Tobe is that she not only works hard to find the best insurance products for her customers, she also cares that the policies she sells deliver on the benefits they promise.
