A reverse mortgage is available if you’re considering home care or only one spouse needs to move into senior living.

If at least one homeowner is staying in the home, and this person is at least 62 years old, you may be able to use a reverse mortgage or a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to pay for care. A reverse mortgage can also eliminate mortgage payments or consolidate other debts, allowing you to redirect funds toward needed care and services.
