Reverse Mortgage for Senior Care: what drives the number
A reverse mortgage can convert home equity into income to fund in-home care or a community move, and it can be a fit when one spouse remains in the home. The cautions are real: fees are significant, the balance grows over time, and the loan comes due when the last borrower leaves the home — which makes it a poor fit if a move to assisted living is imminent. Treat it as one option among several, not a default.
