New York Life long-term care insurance
One of the largest mutual life insurers in the U.S., offering both standalone and hybrid long-term care coverage.
What they offer
Coverage type: Traditional & hybrid. Also underwrites the AARP-branded long-term care insurance program.
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 New York Life's current ratings from independent agencies such as AM Best, Moody's, and S&P before you buy — see how to read insurer ratings.
