Totus Talks: Long term Care Insurance

March 06, 2026

Hello everyone, this is John Wheeler at Totus Wealth Management. Today, we’re going to discuss a topic that can be tough—long-term care insurance. 

As we age, the likelihood of needing long-term care increases. In fact, about 70% of people over the age of 65 will require long-term care services during their lifetime. This can include assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, and the cost of that care at home, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living facility.

From your personal financial and physical needs to the emotional and physical wellness of your spouse or adult-child caregivers, planning is crucial. That’s where long-term care insurance comes in.

The costs associated with long-term care can be substantial. Without proper planning, these expenses can quickly deplete your savings and impact your financial wellness. Long-term care insurance is designed to cover the costs of care that aren't typically covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. 

When considering long-term care insurance, it’s important to understand the various policy options and features available. That’s where our team at Totus can help.

Our advisors are here to guide you through the process of selecting the right policy for your needs. We take the time to understand your personal situation and goals, becoming a partner in discussing the tough topics that set you and your family up to be cared for in the future.

Protecting your future and your family means preparing for all possibilities. Contact us today to learn more about how long-term care insurance can be an essential part of your financial plan.
