Nationwide long-term care insurance
A large mutual-based insurer offering hybrid (linked-benefit) long-term care coverage, including options designed for couples.
What they offer
Coverage type: Hybrid. Known for its CareMatters line of linked-benefit policies.
Long-term care coverage falls into two families — traditional standalone policies and hybrid (linked-benefit) policies. See types of plans for how they differ.
Financial strength
Because a long-term care policy may be held for decades, an insurer's financial strength matters. Check Nationwide's current ratings from independent agencies such as AM Best, Moody's, and S&P before you buy — see how to read insurer ratings.
