The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is committed to helping older persons to maximize all resources, public and private, so that they can be as independent as possible in the residence of their choice

As people grow older, more and more of them face health or economic challenges that can make it more difficult for them to continue to live in their own homes. For many seniors, their homes are their biggest financial asset. This booklet is designed to help older adults to understand and assess the potential range of options, including reverse mortgages, that may be available to them for paying for the services and supports they may need.
