U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the number of older adults in the country continues to rise, while the younger population declines. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and above grew by 13%, compared to a 1.7% decrease for those under 18. Over the last century, the older adult population expanded significantly, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.

A study published in 2021 estimates that nearly half of older adults—around 28 million—may eventually need long-term services and supports, with more than a third expected to require 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. “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.”
