My Mom's long term care plan paid FULLY for her last couple of years. It was a blessing in that we did not have to worry about her running out of money and could afford to pay for the best care. We, my siblings and I, were NOT the full time caregivers, but I have had clients who had family who could do so. Being compensated for their time and efforts would have been a great help.

Did you know some long-term care protection can allow you to choose family and friends as your caregivers? Instead of relying only on professional services, some LTC protection can let you compensate loved ones for the care they provide, offering a more personal and familiar approach to daily activities. Do you know any caregivers in this situation? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.

Dear Valued Client,

As of June 1st, Sandbrook Benefits Group LLC (also known as Sandbrook Group) is proudly celebrating 20 years in business! When I left Corporate America two decades ago, my goal was simple: to serve clients more personally and effectively, free from corporate limitations.

Since then, we’ve weathered significant challenges—from the financial crisis of 2008, to the sweeping changes of the Affordable Care Act in 2014, to the deeply personal loss of my husband and business partner Joe in 2017, and the uncertainties of the COVID era. Through it all, our guiding principle has remained the same: put the best interests of our clients first. We haven’t always had easy answers, but we’ve always remained committed and resilient.
In 2022, I welcomed Jennifer Hagar as “second in command,” with a long-term vision for leadership succession. Over time, that vision evolved. Rather than taking over Sandbrook Group entirely, Jennifer is launching her own company— The Benefits Collective, LLC—which will take over management of our individual, family, and employer group health insurance clients.

Effective July 1, 2025, these health insurance accounts will officially transfer to The Benefits Collective, LLC (TBC). Many of you already know Jenn Hagar - The Benefits Collective and have worked closely with her over the past 3½ years. She is exceptionally qualified and deeply committed to your continued service.

Sandbrook Group will continue to serve our Medicare clients and will sharpen its focus on helping business owners with strategic risk management, including:
Life insurance for key person and buy-sell planning
Disability income protection
Long-term care planning
Exit strategies for a graceful and profitable transition
Retirement planning

These services remain under the Sandbrook umbrella, and I look forward to serving more business owners as they grow and prepare for the future.

We’re truly grateful for your support, referrals, and loyalty over the years—and excited for this next chapter for both Jennifer and me. As with any transition, there may be a few bumps along the way, but we’re working closely together to make the process as smooth as possible.

Thank you again for being a valued part of our journey.
Warm regards,
Dianne Kelley
CEO, Sandbrook Benefits Group LLC

Sandbrook Group is 20 years as of June 1st! I left corporate America to strike out on my own. My why was to serve my clients better, to offer more services and products to help them and for freedom. That all was accomplished!

Thank you to all our clients, our strategic and networking partners, we wouldn't be here without you! Thank you to our carrier reps, who work hard on our behalf. Sometimes being the "middle man" is difficult, communicating to both sides and getting it done! We greatly appreciate our GA's and FMO's, Bishop & Brown Health Insurance Brokers and Black, Gould & Associates. They provide excellent "back office" support.

Do I have another 20 years? Only the Lord knows, but Sandbrook Group will continue. I am actively working my Exit Planning under the name of FreshVue Business Solutions, which will once again come under the umbrella of Sandbrook Group. Helping business owners has been my calling and my passion. It's a tough job out there, I know! Everyone has an "end game", and we need to prepare for it along the way.

So celebrate 20 years with us and here's to the next 20? O, and watch for some more exciting news from Sandbrook Group soon...!
