Our Story
If there's one word that defines our brand, it is Commitment.
​
Jahnke Consulting Inc. began as an independent Long Term Care Insurance Brokerage. After over 35 years of selling long-term care insurance (LTCi) and seeing our clients struggle to find quality care and navigate the complex claims process, we shifted our focus to LTCi Claim Advocacy.
​
We created a proprietary system that provides our clients with access to LTCi expertise, vetted care resources, and professional oversight throughout the entire claims process.
​
Our services adhere to Professional Certification Criteria for Patient Advocacy. We offer a comprehensive management service specifically for Long Term Care insurance claims. This includes handling communication and correspondence, meeting recertification requirements, managing documentation requests, providing professional care provider referrals, and developing problem-solving strategies. We represent the claimant and their family members for the duration of their claim.
The Jahnke Team
Linda Jahnke
Owner - Jahnke Consulting Inc.
Board Certified Patient Advocate
In 1987, Linda sold her first long-term care insurance policy, and together with her husband, they built a successful agency. Transitioning the company to offer claims advocacy was a natural extension of their client-centered approach.
​
Linda and her husband live in San Diego, CA and have four grown children and four grandchildren. They love visiting their grandchildren and go hiking whenever possible.
Janel Sechser
Case Manager
Janel has spent her life dedicated to supporting those around her. She began by owning a massage therapy business for 13 years, utilizing a unique approach of orthopedic modalities for treating repetitive injuries, whether the person was an athlete, workforce employee, or just an individual or family member. Her practice then evolved into a caregiving role, specifically treating clients with Parkinson’s disease. This shift created lasting relationships with families, even after their loved ones had passed on. These roles demanded physical strength, intuition, and a thoughtful, caring touch.
​
Janel feels like an old soul, especially during her visits to Sun City, AZ, and when playing family card games. You definitely have to be on your toes and ready to react in these fun moments! She has a mid-century mindset, and hey, all styles do come back around!
​
Janel is comfortable being the eyes, ears, and voice for anyone needing support in their life. Her caregiving mentality has evolved into a very natural and focused approach that Jahnke Consulting aims to bring on a daily basis.
