U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s population of older adults is increasing, while numbers in younger age groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, the population 65 and older rose by 13%, while the number under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population grew from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 research brief projected that about half of adults age 65 and over—about 28 million—may need long-term services and support, and over one-third could 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.”
