U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the senior population is growing, even as the population of minors is shrinking. From 2020 through 2024, Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older demographic has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 study estimates that close to half of those 65 and older—more than 28 million people—may require some form of long-term services or support, with a projection that over one-third will at some point 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. “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.”
