U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the population of older adults nationwide is on the rise, with younger cohorts shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 or older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older demographic has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to upwards of 61 million by 2024, according to census reports.
A 2021 analysis indicated that close to half of older adults—about 28 million people—will likely need long-term services and support, with more than a third anticipated to 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. “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.”
