The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the number of older adults nationwide continues to rise as younger population groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 or older grew by 13%, while the number of residents under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older adult population has expanded significantly, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A study from 2021 estimates that close to half of those age 65 and older, or about 28 million people, are likely to need long-term services and supports at some point. The same study projects that over one-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. “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.”
