Local Medicare Guidance · Texas
Medicare is complicated. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’ve walked beside seniors in hospitals, through discharge, and into the next stage of care. I bring that insider understanding of the healthcare system to Medicare—helping you see what matters, ask better questions, and move forward with confidence.

Local Experience That Goes Beyond Insurance
Meet Alex
The Mickleys are proud third-generation Houstonians. This community is home, and helping local seniors and families navigate difficult decisions is personal to me.
Since 2022, I built and ran CarePatrol of Central Houston from the ground up—building a referral network and a resource-rich environment for local seniors and their families. The business supported more than 650 consultations and 110 senior-living placements, and I also worked closely with in-home care providers to help families find the right fit at every stage of care.
The insurance products may be the same ones offered by other agents. What is different is the perspective I bring—years spent inside Houston’s senior-care ecosystem, connecting families to the right resources and providers at exactly the moment they need them.
I know families rarely need more jargon. They need someone who understands the system, listens carefully, explains what matters, and stays alongside them as they move forward.
I serve clients throughout Texas and work with Knightly Insurance Group and Senior Health Services to provide access to the Medicare plans I am authorized to offer.
Home, for me, is Houston—and these two.
