Turning 65? I’ll Walk You Through Medicare Step-by-Step

Are you preparing to retire and feeling unsure about Medicare?

If you’ve been trying to figure this out on your own, you’ve probably noticed:

• There are a lot of options
• Everyone seems to say something different
• It’s not always clear what things actually cost

Most people we meet aren’t looking for the “best deal.”

They just want to make the right decision—and avoid costly mistakes.

That’s exactly what this workshop is designed to help you do.

What We’ll Walk Through

• What Medicare actually covers (and what it doesn’t)
• The key decisions you’ll need to make—and when
• Common mistakes that can cost people later
• How to think about your total costs—not just premiums
• Moving from employer coverage to Medicare—step-by-step
• How Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage work (explained simply)
• Basics of prescription coverage (Part D)

What to Expect at the Workshop

• 60-minute session
• Small group setting (limited to 20 people)
• Held in-person at Sams Ranch in Decatur
• No sales pitch or pressure
• No signup sheet or obligation
• Time to ask your personal questions

Bring a friend or spouse if you’d like—we keep it relaxed and easy to follow.

These no-cost workshops are designed for individuals turning 65 and those getting ready to retire.

Location: 4150 Sandcreek Road, Decatur, IL 62521
