U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the country’s older adult population is growing as younger demographics decline. Between 2020 and 2024, the population aged 65 and up increased 13%, while the population under 18 fell by 1.7%. The older adult population in the U.S. has risen sharply over the past 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A 2021 study found that about half of these individuals—approximately 28 million—could need long-term services and supports. More than one-third may ultimately need 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.”
