U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the older adult population grows as numbers of younger residents decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while the number under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has expanded significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million by 2024.
A study released in 2021 estimates nearly half of this age group—about 28 million—may need long-term services and support, with more than a third possibly requiring 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.”
