U.S. Census Bureau estimates note the growing older adult population amid a decrease in younger age groups. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and above grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has increased significantly from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 study estimated that about half of this older age group, nearly 28 million people, could need long-term services and support, with projections showing over one-third may require 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.”
