U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the number of older adults continues to rise, while younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, as the population under 18 dropped 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population has expanded significantly, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of Americans in this age group—about 28 million people—may need long-term services and support, with more than a third likely to require nursing home care at some point.
“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.”
