U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s older adult population is increasing while younger cohorts are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 or older grew by 13%, as the population under 18 declined by 1.7%. The number of older adults in the United States has risen sharply in the past 100 years, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
Findings from a 2021 study estimate that nearly 28 million older adults — about half of that group — 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 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.”
