According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the population of older adults in the U.S. continues to grow as the number of younger individuals declines. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult population has climbed significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A 2021 study found that nearly half of this demographic—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and supports. The study also predicted that more than a third may ultimately 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, 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.”
