My name is Neta – I started my career working with seniors in 1984 as a music therapist in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement homes, and senior centers. I have worked for more than 37 years with seniors, including 6 years in an inpatient medical geriatric psychiatry unit, as the Assistant Program Director.

I specialize in working with the more elderly seniors and their families, finding the best Medicare plans to meet their needs. Working with seniors that need a little more time and care gives me great pleasure.

My mission in life is to improve the quality of life for those around me. I fulfill that mission when I am able to get someone into the best plan for them and give them the most value for their money, increasing their peace of mind.

I was born in Oklahoma City, OK, and moved to Ridgecrest, CA (in the High Desert) when I was 5 years old.  At 19, I started college at California State University, Long Beach, studying music therapy, and decided to make it my home. I met my husband, James Wenrick in 1980 and we were married in 1982 at the church where I was the choir director. In 1992, my husband and I moved to Huntington Beach, CA, where we raise our son and lived for 22 years. In 2013, we moved to Dana Point, CA and in 2017 we moved to Aliso Viejo, CA.

My husband is James Wenrick, an LCSW. We met in 1980 and have been married since 1982.
We have one son, Joshua Wenrick, who is an electrician in Portland, OR. He married Ashlie in 2011. We are blessed with two adorable grandsons: Noah Hudson Wenrick (2014) and Roland Carter Wenrick (2017)
