You can get out of any mortgage by either refinancing and paying off the lender, or selling and paying off the lender. Or using cash from other investments to pay off the lender.

A reverse mortgage is a special mortgage available to seniors (the owners must be all over
62). The bank loans either a lump sump or periodic payments that get added to the principal of the mortgage. No payments are due until the mortgager moves out of the house (or dies).
At that point typically the house is sold and the lender gets the proceeds (and anything left goes to the mortgager (or estate)).

Perhaps the most unbiased description of Reverse Mortgages is available at the AARP (aarp.org) site.
