The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the older adult population in the country has continued to rise as the younger age groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, the count of Americans age 65 and over rose by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the nation’s older population expanded significantly, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 study estimates that about half of adults in this demographic—roughly 28 million—may need long-term services and support, and projects that over a third could eventually 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 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.”
