I was purchasing LTC insurance for my mother and found it to be an impossible maze until I got in touch with Don. He was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions, taking the time to understand what we needed, and providing us with several good options to work with. We likely would never have figured out to get the type of coverage we did — and we certainly would not have found as good a deal on it — without his assistance. Plus, he was always friendly and pleasant to talk to. Thanks, Don! We mean it — thanks again!

I requested information on long-term healthcare insurance in response to an announcement from a university alumnae bulletin. Mr. Donald Strickler contacted me, offering his assistance. We began a constructive working relationship with the objective of selecting a plan for me and my wife which would provide a degree of coverage in our later years while still being reasonable within our financial constraints. Don provided information on various options from major carriers, a detailed cost analysis, and answered all our questions in timely fashion. Using statistical data and personal observations, Don was able to educate us on the best options while removing all anxiety in the process. With no pressure whatsoever, he helped us to identify and initiate our long term healthcare policies. I am extremely pleased that we are fortunate to have Don as our LTHC advisor.

Jamey and I would like to thank you for your guidance and support as we sorted through the different options for our long term care policy. We were very appreciative of your patience and clarity as you helped us understand the many kinds of policies available, the range of care and benefits, and the price-structures that apply to the different products.We especially appreciated your advocacy for us when our chosen provider decided to alter the original terms of our policy after a less than ideal result in one of my husband’s medical tests. Your support for us helped us reach an acceptable compromise that kept us and our provider feeling good about our final policy. We are very relieved to know that we have a great policy that will support us when we need it but most importantly, keep our family free from the pressures of difficult medical and financial decisions during our final years.Again, we are grateful for your kind and expert guidance through this process. Thank you for your excellent work on our behalf!

Bottom line is that Don Strickler is outstanding! Over the course of several months, Don helped me select the best bundle of LTC benefits and the best LTC provider. When that first provider unexpectedly put me in the worst health category, causing my premiums to be higher than I could afford, Don helped find an alternative provider that was affordable. During our many phone and email interactions, Don was super knowledgeable, patient and resourceful. In addition, he quickly responded to all my questions (and there were a lot of them), communicated very clearly and thoroughly, and made the application process painless. Personally, Don is a really nice guy who went the extra mile to be sure I understood everything and ended up with a good policy. If I were to do it all over again, I’d work with Don. I highly recommend him.

I would like to take a moment to thank you for the help you gave me in selecting a long term care insurance plan. I appreciate the clarity and perspective you offered. You were extremely knowledgeable of the LTC industry and guidelines in my home state. Guiding me through the various plans and choices and explaining the historical basis for some of the current trends helped me better understand LTC insurance. You answered all of my questions fully (I had many) and did not rush through anything. I also value your zero pressure sales approach. I felt like we were sitting in my living room having a conversation. Ultimately, I am confident that I made a well informed decision to purchase LTC insurance and found a plan that is right for me.

We were very skeptical about Long Term Care Insurance when we started this process of exploration. When we found Don and his agency, we found him to be not only very knowledgeable but he was also very patient with us. He worked with us to tailor the coverage that was best for us and while we were very skeptical at first, we came to trust Don and we are pleased and comfortable with the decision we made in terms of taking his recommendation. We found Don to be the ultimate professional as he is not “fee driven” but very relationship oriented. We would highly recommend Don as an agent and guide for choosing the appropriate Long Term Care coverage plan.

Don Strickler has been assisting us in designing and purchasing our long term care insurance plan. Before we met Don, we had spoken to several other long term care agents. Don is by far the most knowledgeable, honest, efficient, and courteous agent. He was a pleasure to deal with, and we would highly recommend him to anyone who plans to purchase a long term health care policy. Don has a vast knowledge of all of the different policies and options. Because there are so many variables to consider when purchasing long term care insurance, it was so important to have an agent like Don who was able to sort through the details. We asked many questions, and he always answered them thoroughly, providing examples to clarify the issues. He listened very carefully to our specific needs, so that he guided us in designing a policy that fit our individual situation. Don is very honest; while he was careful not to under-insure our needs, he also made certain not to sell us more insurance than we would need for our particular circumstances. Don’s efficiency is unsurpassed, as he always returned our phone calls and emailed documents in a very timely manner. Throughout our conversations, Don was always patient and polite. In summary, we would refer any of our friends and family to Don Strickler, as he truly simplifies this rather complex process, providing the best information in the most efficient manner with the greatest integrity.

I want to thank you once again for your help with our decision on our long term care policy. By the time I called you we were already in a difficult situation in trying to decide between policies from two people who we personally know that were offering conflicting advice. Your help in clarifying the pros and cons of each rider and policy type helped us make a decision that we feel confident about. I am sorry that we did not end up purchasing a policy through you, but our prior relationship with the other person swayed us that way. I am impressed with your willingness to help us even though others were already involved and your change of a sale was reduced from the start. Your sincere willingness to offer advice is greatly appreciated. I will keep your contact information so I can pass it on to others who are searching.Sincerely, Sincerely,
