About Helping Hands for Senior Plans
Helping seniors across Nebraska and Iowa understand Medicare and choose coverage with confidence.
How Helping Hands for Senior Plans Started
Helping Hands for Senior Plans began in 2008 in the basement of their home when Kurt Fricke decided to focus his insurance experience on helping seniors navigate Medicare. With more than 30 years in the insurance industry, Kurt had already seen how confusing insurance options could be, and he wanted to provide a more personal and supportive approach for people trying to understand their Medicare coverage.
Not long after, Carol joined the business as well, helping grow the agency and build long-term relationships with clients throughout the Omaha area. In 2018, Marissa joined the team, making Helping Hands for Senior Plans a true family business.
Today, our family continues to focus on the same mission we started with — making Medicare easier for seniors and their families to understand.

Helping Seniors Navigate Medicare
For many people, Medicare can feel overwhelming. Seniors often receive dozens of mailers, phone calls, and advertisements about Medicare plans, which can make it difficult to know what information is trustworthy and what decisions are right for them.
Our goal is to simplify that process. We take the time to explain Medicare in plain language, compare coverage options, and help each client choose a plan that fits their healthcare needs and budget.
We also work hard to help seniors avoid scams and misleading information that can sometimes target vulnerable populations.
Why Clients Trust Helping Hands
Helping Hands for Senior Plans has been helping Medicare clients since 2008, and many of our clients stay with us for years because they know we are always available when they need help.
Our approach is simple:
- We review plans with our clients every year
- We help resolve claim issues or insurance problems when they arise
- We stay available for questions long after enrollment
We often tell our clients:
“Let us be the first call before you get frustrated with the insurance companies.”
That philosophy has helped us build long-lasting relationships with seniors and their families.
