U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s older adult population is increasing as younger age groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older population has expanded significantly over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found nearly half of older adults—about 28 million people—may require long-term services and support, with projections showing that over one-third may need nursing home care in the future.
“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 group. “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.”
