A reverse mortgage is a great way for a Bank to make bucket loads of money.

Example: A 60yo couple reverse mortgage their home for 50% of it's current value, say $300,000 and get $150,000 put into their pocket.
For each year you have the $150,000, the current interest rate is deducted from the remaining 50%. If you lived to 100yo, you could end up being evicted from your home having no remaining equity in your home.
Also the bank has locked in the value of the home to the time the reverse mortgage was granted, ie: in 20 years, it's possible the home could be worth over $1 million, but the only beneficiary of this capital gain will be the bank.

In other words you are actually selling your home for half the price.

The reverse mortgage idea is another scam by bankers to screw the sheeple, most of whom are financially illiterate.
