U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the older adult population in the country keeps rising as the number of younger people decreases. Americans aged 65 and over grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, while the population under 18 declined by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has risen sharply in the past 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of those in this age group, or about 28 million, will need long-term services and supports, with more than a third expected to require nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
