According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the United States is seeing its older adult population continue to rise as the younger population shrinks. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and above grew by 13%, while the count of those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has expanded extensively during the past 100 years, going from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that about half of this group, equating to roughly 28 million people, may require long-term services and supports. The same research suggests over a third are likely to need nursing home care at some stage.
“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.”
