Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the country’s senior population is increasing, as younger cohorts decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. This group has expanded significantly since 1920, rising from 4.9 million to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 study estimates roughly half of these seniors, or about 28 million people, could need long-term services and supports, with over one-third eventually requiring 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, an insurance education foundation. “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.”
