As per the report of Business Insider (2015) the cost of healthcare services is very high, most of 
the people are not getting quality healthcare services. It is the duty of the government authorities 
to introduce productive policies and practices for managing the healthcare issues faced by the 
people. The demand for the Long term care in US is increasing and most of the people are 
searching for getting quality services at less cost. As per the report of Robert Wood Johnson 
Foundation (2016) by the year of 2050 the population of older people rises to 88 million. 
Therefore it is the right for the federal healthcare agencies such as Center for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services has to focus on new plans and programs for managing the long-term care 
issues. Now we can analyze the trends that will affect the long-term care system in the future as 
well as existing challenges faced by the managers in the long-term care system in a detailed way.

the rise in the number of senior people. Increase in the number of senior people will increase the 
demand for the long term care. It is the duty of Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to 
understand the demographics trend and based on that introduce productive policies. According to 
the words of Thomas (2014) two major demographic changes that will influence the demand of 
the long term care is;
