About Us
The word Shomer means “Guardian”, and we take our name to heart. Since the company’s incorporation in 1999, every program we develop, webinar we offer, and policy we propose is crafted with our clients’ needs in mind. We receive compliments and thanks from our clients every day because they appreciate the level of service that we tailor to each one. Single location, multi-state, high risk or low, Shomer is able to adapt and provide custom service. On May 1st, 2019 the Alera Group acquisition of Shomer Insurance opened a new set of opportunities for Shomer and its clients. After this strategic acquisition, Shomer has been able to expand, adding even more value for our clients while still maintaining our identity.

Ari Baer
President
Ari started his career as a commercial lines producer for the Shomer Insurance Agency in 2004. After learning the ins and outs of insurance, he undertook the task of developing the Shomer Healthcare Division, which specializes in the insuring of skilled nursing, assisted living, and residential care facilities in addition to home health agencies and hospitals.
Ari’s motivation has always been the client’s success. With this in mind, he has assembled a singularly dedicated team of experts who share in his ambitions for overachievement. The addition of the Risk Management team, several exceptional software platforms, and the further expansion of Shomer into new fields, have allowed Ari to create the unique client experience Shomer is known for.

Webinar: Meeting the Needs of an Aging Workforce
Why is recognizing and addressing the priorities of older workers an imperative? Because, as Bain’s analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data determined, workers 55 and older will exceed a quarter of the workforce among G7 nations, including the United States, by 2031.
