U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the older adult population across the nation continues to grow, even as the population under 18 decreases. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and up grew 13%, while those younger than 18 declined 1.7%. The older adult demographic has seen dramatic growth from 4.9 million in 1920 to beyond 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report estimates that nearly half of adults in this age group—about 28 million—could potentially need long-term services and supports. Over one-third may require care in a nursing home 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-focused educational 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.”
