"The probability of needing Long Term Services & Support increases with age. As the U.S. population aged 65 and older continues to increase in size, and individuals continue to live longer post-retirement, the demand for LTSS is expected to increase."   

Congressional Research Center Rev. 6/2022


Long term care services are generally funded through a combination of public and private sources. Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans' Benefits are the most common public sources of funding for long term care. Private sources of funding for long term care services include long term care insurance, personal savings, and investments. 


  • Medicaid is a government program that provides health care to low-income individuals and families.
