Aging in place. It’s about more than just staying in your home. Aging in place is about staying close to a lifetime of memories and retaining a symbol of your independence. But over time, aging in place can present unique challenges - and may require significant home improvements. Home improvements that could include a curbless shower, stair/chair lift or a variety of other needs.

The good news is that a Reverse Mortgage from M&T offers a way for homeowners, age 62 or older, to make home improvements that can assist with aging in place. And a reverse mortgage offers advantages traditional home improvement financing can’t. These include easy qualifying (income and credit history are not considered) and not having to worry about making monthly payments. 

A Reverse Mortgage from M&T can assist with a variety of aging in place home improvements, without the disadvantages of traditional home improvement financing. A reverse mortgage can help provide extra cash for:

• Curbless showers for improved accessibility
• Handrails and grab bars
• A main floor laundry room
• Improved lighting
• Elevated toilets
• Lower kitchen cabinets to improve access
• Smooth, stepless entryways
