Renting Your Home

If one parent is currently living, or if both parents need assistance with daily living, the family home can be an important resource. Selling is an option, of course, but for many family's, your house is cherished and family members aren't ready to make this decision. In this case, you could consider renting out the house and using the rental income to pay for assisted living. The idea of being a landlord might seem scary, but for a fee, you can hire a service to manage the property for you and still generate enough income to ease the burden of assisted living costs.
