U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the older adult population in the country keeps rising as numbers for younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 fell by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has seen significant growth in the past 100 years, jumping from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis notes that about half of adults in this age group, some 28 million people, are expected to need long-term care services, with the study projecting more than a third will ultimately require 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.”
