U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the number of older adults nationwide continues to climb as the younger population declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population in the United States has risen sharply, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study indicates that nearly half of individuals in this demographic—about 28 million people—are likely to need long-term services and supports, with more than a third projected to eventually require nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education organization. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
