Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the country’s older adult population continues to rise while numbers for younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the total of Americans aged 65 and over rose by 13%, whereas those under 18 declined 1.7%. Over the last century, the older American population has sharply increased, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 projects that nearly half of older adults—about 28 million—could require long-term services or support, and more than one-third may eventually need 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.”
