In the area of Long Term Care Insurance, Tobe Gerard is an established expert. Her many years of service in the industry qualify her as a definitive authority on insurance matters, but it is the undivided and patient attention that she provides clients that makes her so unique. There is not a situation that she has not already encountered at some time and so working with her gives all involved a true sense of confidence. This confidence matters greatly because as an independent salesperson she chooses which company she will represent in a given scenario. I am licensed to sell Long Term Care Insurance, but I know that using Tobe gives me an edge that is difficult to match. She understands client needs and it always feels like a true partnership working alongside her.

Tobe, I Wanted to give you some positive feedback. After I forwarded the information on our LTC policies to our estate attorney, she emailed me back and said that in her 22+ years of law practice, these were the best long term care insurance policies that she’s ever seen.

The first thought that should pop into anyone’s head when the subject of long term care planning and insurance enters into a conversation is: Tobe Gerard Insurance. Tobe is a true expert. Her knowledge of the long-term care market is extraordinary. She will find what company offers what plan with what options given one’s needs, goals, and budget better than anyone. She is always up-to-date on the ever-changing laws and regulations that are a fixture of elder law and works closely with attorneys and others who specialize in this area of the law. But what separates Tobe is her gift of understanding and empathizing with the client. Those who even remotely work in the elder care market know it can be very time consuming requiring a great deal of patience and thoroughness. Tobe has almost infinite possession of these attributes. In a nutshell, she understands. She cares. This allows the strategic partner an opportunity to work with a prospect or client in an area that he or she might avoid because of the ever-changing nature of the market and the law within elder care and long term care planning and insurance. Tobe will help make this market a reality for you. Her expertise and her empathy put her at the top of the list of advisors working in the long-term care market.

Tobe Gerard Insurance has been an incredible resource in setting up a Long Term Care Insurance policy for my out of state father. My insurance agent for other policies referred me to Tobe Gerard Insurance because he knew of her expertise in LTC Insurance. I was delighted to find that not only was she indeed an expert, but she was patient, kind and thoughtful throughout the process. Tobe Gerard Insurance answered all of our questions, gave us time to digest the information, and always followed up and responded promptly. Tobe made herself available to meet in person, to have discussions over the phone, and to correspond via email. Tobe Gerard Insurance provided options and quotes for various policies while explaining every detail (sometimes multiple times, as we tried to remember all of the policy parameters) with kindness, professionalism, and patience. Tobe took time to ask and learn about my family and my parents’ situation. She took their specific health needs into consideration and explored different coverage scenarios with us. At no time did we feel any pressure from Tobe – just respect and support to help us find the best fit in a policy. Tobe Gerard Insurance provided expertise not only in LTC Insurance generally but in specific laws and regulations in another state (Wisconsin), where my parents reside. This was tremendously helpful. Tobe Gerard Insurance was also able to see us completely through the process (to policy purchase and activation) since Tobe maintains an active license for Wisconsin. I look forward to continuing to work with Tobe Gerard Insurance, and I recommend her without hesitation.
