Many families of seniors are facing a serious problem of not only aging parents who need assistance at home with their health problems but how to pay for this invaluable service.

Too often the care of older parents falls on the shoulders of one family member, who is typically a middle-aged married woman, has children at home and quite often has a career or is employed.   Once a family member attempts to care of their parents on their own and without any help from other members of the family, they often develop their own serious health issues and sometimes die within a year due to the stress they are experiencing.

A family can quickly fall into bickering and fighting about how to handle the situation and in addition to this problem, there are the expenses of actually hiring a professional to provide the necessary assistance to the senior who needs help when the family member can no longer manage it on their own.

The fees for such services can vary, but on the average and depending upon if the care is needed 24/7 can be as high as $10,000 a month.  How and who will pay for this?   The family?

Probably not, but what if funds from a reverse loan were used to pay this expense?  Why not utilize the equity in a parent’s home to cover this expense and any additional expenses for their care that may occur as time passes?

See what my clients are saying!

Using the equity in a parent’s home makes good sense for everyone in the family.   The parents will be well taken care of and their family will not have to be overwhelmed with this responsibility, not use their own funds, miss family time or take time off from their professions each time an emergency comes up with their parents.

In conclusion, it is an excellent option to pay for the fees of caregiving and it is also a solution to keep families from using their own funds to pay for a caregiver, but also to protect their own health and the unity of their family.
