Minden, Gardnerville, the Ranchos, and historic Genoa — the Carson Valley is full of retirees and families who’ve been here for generations. I bring Medicare, life, and retirement help right to your table, no drive to the city required.
The Carson Valley has plenty of long-standing insurance agencies, but most focus on auto, home, and business. When it comes to Medicare, long-term care, life, and retirement income, families often get sent to a call center. I fill that gap locally — a specialist in senior and retirement coverage who’ll actually come to Minden or Gardnerville.
Douglas County has one of the older, more established populations in the region, which means these decisions matter here. Whether you’re a rancher near Genoa, retired in the Gardnerville Ranchos, or just moved to Minden, we’ll build a plan around your doctors and your budget.
I meet folks all over the valley — downtown Minden and Gardnerville, out toward Genoa and Johnson Lane, and down to the Topaz area.
Carson Valley communities I serve:
Protect your health and your time, and protect the money that funds whatever is next. As an independent broker I shop A+ rated carriers for you — never just one company’s menu.
Carson Valley residents are served locally by Carson Valley Health (the hospital in Gardnerville and its clinics), with many people also traveling to Carson Tahoe or Reno for specialists. Your Medicare choice should keep those doors open.
With a Medicare Supplement plan you can use Carson Valley Health, Carson Tahoe, and Renown alike — anywhere that accepts Medicare — with predictable costs. With a Medicare Advantage plan we verify the local network first so your Gardnerville and Minden providers are actually in it.
Long-term care is a real conversation in the Carson Valley, where many families want to age in place on property that’s been theirs for years. I help you look at long-term care and home-health options before there’s a crisis, not during one.
And I’ll make sure your Part D drug coverage fills your prescriptions affordably at a local pharmacy — not just on paper.
Plan availability and provider networks change every year and by ZIP code. I don’t offer every plan in the area — we’ll review the ones that fit your doctors and budget, and you can always compare all options at Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE.
It’s just me — Daniel. When you call, you reach the person who will actually sit down with you in Minden & Gardnerville, compare your options in plain English, and be here next year when something changes.
I represent you, not a single carrier, so we compare A+ rated companies side by side and pick what actually fits.
A review costs you nothing. As a broker I’m paid by the carrier you choose — your premium is the same whether you use me or not.
You’ll leave understanding your coverage well enough to explain it to a friend — that’s the whole point.
The best plan isn’t the one I sell the most of. It’s the one you understand so well you never lose sleep over it again.
— Daniel J. FaiellaYes — me. Most Carson Valley agencies focus on auto and home insurance and refer Medicare out to call centers. I specialize in Medicare, life, long-term care and retirement income, and I’ll meet you in Minden, Gardnerville, or anywhere in the valley.
With a Medicare Supplement plan, yes — you can use Carson Valley Health and any other provider that accepts Medicare. With a Medicare Advantage plan, we’ll confirm the local network includes your doctors and the Gardnerville hospital before you enroll.
Absolutely. Planning to age in place is common in the Carson Valley, and there are long-term care and home-health coverage options that make it realistic. The best time to look at them is before you need care — we can review your choices anytime.
No. A review and enrollment are free — I’m paid by the carrier you select and your premium is the same either way. You just get a neighbor who does this for a living instead of an 800 number.
Carson City based, and out on the road across the region every week. Not your town? Just ask — I very likely cover it.
The first conversation is always free and always no-pressure. Kitchen table, a local coffee shop, or a video call — your choice.
