U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the older adult population continues to rise while the number of younger individuals decreases. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, compared to a 1.7% decrease among those under 18. The nation’s older adult population has expanded significantly over the past century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
According to a 2021 study, nearly half of individuals 65 and older—around 28 million—could require long-term services and support. The report also predicts that over a third of this group 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. “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.”
