Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the aging adult population in the U.S. continues to expand, with the number of Americans ages 65 and older rising 13% from 2020 to 2024, as the population under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult segment has surged over the past century, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of older adults, or roughly 28 million, may eventually need long-term services and support, with projections that more than a third could 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, which focuses on insurance education. “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.”
