Centrally located in downtown Decatur, Sams/Hockaday & Associates has been serving local seniors with Medicare insurance and retirement planning since 1981. As Medicare enrollment approaches, many of their clients tell them about the dozens of mailers they get, the telemarketing phone calls, emails… it’s overwhelming. When are you supposed to enroll for Medicare? How much will it cost? What if you’re still working? Rest assured that they keep up with Medicare so that you don’t have to. When you meet with one of their qualified, local insurance agents, you’ll experience the hands-on, personal service they give to ensure all of your Medicare and retirement planning needs are met. They don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach – your needs are unique, which is why they’ll get to know you, your risk profile, your preferences, and your budget. Only then will they educate you on your options and make the best recommendation to fit your needs. At Sams/Hockaday, they don’t just sell one company – they represent dozens of them! This gives them the opportunity to price shop the entire market to get the most competitive price. They often hear from clients that they’ve been able to save them hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per year.

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
