U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s population of older adults is rising as younger cohorts decline. From 2020 through 2024, the U.S. saw a 13% rise in adults age 65 and older, while the count of those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s population of older adults has grown substantially, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A study conducted in 2021 found that close to half of Americans in this age bracket, about 28 million people, could require long-term services and supports, with over one third possibly needing nursing home care at some point.

“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, an insurance education advocacy group. “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.”
