Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the older adult segment in the United States is continuing to rise as the numbers of younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older adult population has increased sharply from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study estimates that close to half of adults in this group, about 28 million people, may need long-term services and support. The study also forecasts that more than one-third could require nursing home care at some point.
“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. “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.”
