U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s older adult population continues to expand, while younger demographics shrink. From 2020 to 2024, individuals age 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older population climbed from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report found that nearly half of adults age 65 and older—about 28 million—could need long-term care services and supports. The same study predicted over one-third of this group might ultimately need care in a nursing home.
“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 organization. “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.”
