How We Help You Plan for Care

Rick Baker long-term care advisor Ohio

Rick Baker
Protection Planning & Long-Term Care

Rick works with individuals and families in Ohio who are trying to figure out what to do about future care before their options narrow. His focus is on helping people understand what care actually costs, what Medicare does not cover, and how to build a plan that holds up. That conversation usually starts before most people think it needs to.

Val Baker
Medicare Pro

Val works with individuals across Ohio who are trying to make sense of Medicare before they get it wrong. That usually means sorting through more options than most people expect, at a moment when the stakes are higher than they realize. Her focus is on making sure people understand what they are actually choosing between, and that the coverage they select fits their real situation.

What Care Planning Actually Looks Like

Before you talk to anyone, it helps to see the picture for yourself. Watch a short overview, run the cost estimate, and check where you stand.


As a business owner, I value honesty and integrity. Rick and Val are the kind of people who lead with both. They’re trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to help families prepare for the future. If you’ve had questions and didn’t know where to start, they’re a great resource.
