According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the number of older adults continues to rise in the U.S. as the under-18 population shrinks. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those younger than 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population has expanded greatly, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study released in 2021 indicates that nearly half of Americans over 65, or about 28 million people, are likely to need long-term services or support. It also projects that over one-third could require nursing home care eventually.
“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.”
