Retirement & Health Insurance Help in Basehor, KS

Whitehead Financial, run by independent broker Lucy Whitehead right here in Basehor, helps local families with retirement planning, 401(k) rollovers and health insurance for self-employed people.

Basehor has grown a lot since Reuben and Ephraim Basehor laid out the town site in 1889, when the railroad came through (Basehor Chamber of Commerce). Today the city counts an estimated 8,249 residents as of July 1, 2025, and about 79.9% of homes are owner-occupied (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts). That mix of long-time families and newer households means plenty of people here are thinking about the same things: how to turn years of saving into steady income, and what to do with retirement accounts from past jobs.

Roughly 17.6% of Basehor residents are 65 or older, and the median household income is $116,769 (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts). Many households are juggling a few moving parts at once: Social Security timing, workplace plans, maybe an old pension, and health coverage. Lucy sits down with you to look at the whole picture in plain English, explain the options that fit your situation, and help you decide on your own timeline. There's no pressure and no fee for her time.

Life in Basehor tends to revolve around places like City Park, the Field of Dreams athletics complex and Falcon Lakes Golf Course (City of Basehor). The average commute is about 28.8 minutes (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts), so many residents drive into the wider Kansas City area for work. Because Lucy is local, meeting is easy: she can talk with you at her Basehor office, at your kitchen table, or by phone or video if that's simpler.
