As the U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the nation’s population of older adults continues to rise as younger age groups decline. The number of Americans aged 65 and older grew by 13% from 2020 to 2024, while those under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult population has grown substantially, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study from 2021 indicates that around half of those aged 65 and older, an estimated 28 million people, could require long-term services and support. The study also forecasts that over one-third might eventually need care in a nursing home.
“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 organization. “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.”
