Twenty-five states saw double-digit percentage increases in the number of residents with long-term care insurance in the last year, according to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance’s 2011 LTC Sourcebook.

Less-populated states recorded the greatest percentage year-to-year growth, with the number of insured individuals in Alaska growing by nearly 130%. Wyoming saw 62% growth, and Vermont had a 48% increase.
