Using Home Equity
to Fund In-Home Care
If you’re like many homeowners, your house is your greatest asset.
Like others, you may need access to additional funds in order to
cover expenses like in-home care or compensating loved ones
who care for you. A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
loan, also known as a reverse mortgage, allows you to put your
hard-earned home equity to work for you. HECM loan proceeds
are tax free* and can be used to cover the cost of your care needs
while you continue to live in your home. *Consult your tax advisor.
