U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the nation’s older population is rising even as younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the population 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population has seen significant expansion over the last century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 anticipated that nearly half of people in this age group, or around 28 million, may need long-term services and supports. It also projected that over a third of them could eventually require care provided by a nursing home.
“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 education group. “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.”
