According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the country’s older adult population is growing while the population of younger age groups declines. Between 2020 and 2024, those age 65 and older increased by 13%, while the number of Americans under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has expanded significantly over the past 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A 2021 study found that almost 50% of this population—about 28 million people—are likely to require long-term services and supports, with projections indicating a third may need nursing home care over time.

“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.”
