We will begin with reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages were initially designed to help widows live out their lives in their homes. In order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, you must be 62 years of age or older. Seniors who qualify also own their homes or owe a very small amount and consider it their primary residence. Once qualifications are met and a reverse mortgage has been acquired, the funds can be paid out in full or in a monthly payment. The funds received from the reverse mortgage can be used to pay for in home care allowing your loved one to stay in their homes indefinitely. There is a downside to reverse mortgages, however. The bank sets firm guidelines on those who utilize this option, so make sure you have done your homework before you consider a reverse mortgage to pay for in home help. Strict adherence to the set rules will ensure that the loan is not defaulted on and your senior is able to stay at home for as long as possible.
