No. 01 — What we do

Four lines of work, one way of doing them — straight with you.

No. 02 — Who we help

Real people. Real questions. No two situations alike.

The young family in East Haven figuring out HUSKY for a new baby — and wondering if they should start a life insurance policy now that they have someone counting on them.

Working families · Segment A
02

The grandparent in Old Saybrook quietly worrying about how to leave something to the grandkids — without making a mess of probate or the family cottage.

Retirees & legacy planning · Segment B
03

The lobster boat captain in Stonington who needs health insurance that works when the season slows down — and term life that covers the boat note and the kids in school.

Self-employed · Segment D

Caregivers · Segment C
Our promise

Help with HUSKY is always free.

We don't charge for Medicaid enrollment support. Ever. The state doesn't pay us. You don't pay us. It's part of how a local agency serves a local community — and it's how we earn the trust to be there when you do need to buy something.

A note from Amanda

I grew up in Madison. I've been writing policies on this shoreline for 25 years.

I learned the insurance business the way most people on this stretch of coast learn anything worth knowing — from people who'd been doing it a while, and who didn't have time for nonsense. I started out at a little agency in Guilford in 2000. I've been on the shoreline ever since.

Every town from New Haven to Stonington has its own quirks. The flood maps in Old Saybrook aren't the flood maps in Branford. HUSKY questions look different in New London than they do in Madison. We know that because we live here.

If you call us, you'll get me or someone I trained — not a call center, not a chatbot. We'll tell you the truth, even when it costs us a sale.

What shoreline families actually say.

★★★★★
They sat at our kitchen table with my 84-year-old mother and explained Medicaid in a way she actually understood. They didn't charge us a dime. I've already sent three friends.

I run a charter operation out of Niantic. They put together health, life, and a flood policy on my house in one afternoon. Saved me about $1,400 a year and explained everything in English I could follow.

We had a baby in March. They walked us through adding her to HUSKY and helped us pick a 20-year term policy without trying to sell us a bunch of stuff we didn't need. Genuinely good people.
