Long-Term Care Insurance: Arizona & Nationwide Guide
Yvonne Ruiz
As life expectancy rises, more families are realizing the importance of planning ahead for long-term care. Health insurance and Medicare may cover hospital stays or short-term rehab, but they don’t cover the cost of ongoing care for chronic illness, disability, or aging. That’s where long-term care insurance comes in.
At Integrity Financial Solutions Group, based in Arizona and serving clients nationwide, we help individuals and families prepare for the future with tailored long-term care coverage. Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or caring for aging parents, the right plan provides security, dignity, and financial peace of mind.
What Is Long-Term Care Insurance?
Long-term care insurance helps cover the cost of extended care services — whether at home, in assisted living, in nursing homes, or in adult day care centers.
Unlike traditional health insurance, it’s specifically designed to provide financial support for the personal and custodial care people often need as they age.
Why Long-Term Care Planning Matters
- Rising Costs – In Arizona, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home is over $9,000 per month. Nationwide, costs are climbing every year.
- Medicare Doesn’t Cover It – Medicare only covers short-term skilled care — not long-term daily assistance.
- Family Strain – Without coverage, the burden often falls on family members.
- Protects Assets – Helps prevent the depletion of savings or retirement accounts.
Planning ahead with Integrity Financial Solutions Group ensures you or your loved ones receive quality care without jeopardizing financial security.

- Seniors – Even if you’re already retired, options may be available.
- Adult Children Planning for Parents – Many families begin exploring policies for aging parents to relieve financial and caregiving pressures.
Whether you’re in Arizona or anywhere nationwide, long-term care insurance provides stability for the years ahead.
