An​ ​Independent​ ​View​ ​On​ ​Retirement​ ​Villages Over​ ​the​ ​past​ ​few​ ​weeks,​ ​articles​ ​about​ ​retirement​ ​villages​ ​have​ ​received​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​press​ ​and most​ ​of​ ​it​ ​was​ ​unfavourable.​ ​As​ ​independent​ ​advisers,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​been​ ​asked​ ​on​ ​numerous occasions​ ​whether​ ​we​ ​think​ ​the​ ​articles​ ​have​ ​been​ ​fair.​ ​So​ ​here​ ​is​ ​what​ ​we​ ​think. Social​ ​isolation​ ​is​ ​the​ ​single​ ​biggest​ ​issue​ ​for​ ​our​ ​ageing​ ​population.​ ​Retirement​ ​villages​ ​go​ ​a long​ ​way​ ​towards​ ​solving​ ​that​ ​issue​ ​for​ ​its​ ​residents.​ ​The​ ​residents​ ​are​ ​part​ ​of​ ​a​ ​community,​ ​they

https://signpostlms.com.au probably​ ​get​ ​some​ ​supports​ ​(like​ ​general​ ​maintenance​ ​of​ ​the​ ​common​ ​areas​ ​and​ ​some​ ​social activities)​ ​and​ ​they​ ​feel​ ​safe.​ ​The​ ​residents​ ​are​ ​also​ ​able​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​live​ ​independently. These​ ​things​ ​are​ ​priceless​ ​and​ ​can​ ​make​ ​for​ ​a​ ​happy​ ​old​ ​age.

Independent​ ​Living Retirement​ ​villages​ ​are​ ​usually​ ​independent​ ​living,​ ​so​ ​stories​ ​about​ ​how​ ​a​ ​person​ ​was​ ​left​ ​in their​ ​unit​ ​after​ ​a​ ​medical​ ​event​ ​and​ ​not​ ​found​ ​for​ ​several​ ​days​ ​can​ ​happen​ ​because​ ​the​ ​resident chose​ ​to​ ​remain​ ​independent.​ ​Whilst​ ​many​ ​retirement​ ​villages​ ​are​ ​equipped​ ​with​ ​emergency​ ​all buttons,​ ​sometimes​ ​things​ ​happen​ ​which​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​button​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​activated.​ ​Some retirement​ ​villages​ ​are​ ​using​ ​technology​ ​to​ ​detect​ ​these​ ​events​ ​without​ ​the​ ​need​ ​to​ ​activate​ ​a call​ ​button. It​ ​does​ ​become​ ​confusing​ ​because​ ​some​ ​retirement​ ​villages​ ​offer​ ​care​ ​services​ ​which​ ​the resident​ ​generally​ ​has​ ​to​ ​agree​ ​to​ ​and​ ​pay​ ​for​ ​additionally.​ ​In​ ​that​ ​case,​ ​if​ ​the​ ​resident​ ​had agreed​ ​to​ ​those​ ​care​ ​services​ ​and​ ​they​ ​had​ ​not​ ​been​ ​delivered,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​wrong​ ​for​ ​a​ ​person​ ​to be​ ​left​ ​undetected​ ​for​ ​a​ ​period​ ​of​ ​time. Retirement​ ​Villages​ ​Can​ ​Be​ ​Very​ ​Expensive Retirement​ ​village​ ​agreements​ ​are​ ​contract​ ​based​ ​so​ ​the​ ​residents​ ​get​ ​what​ ​the​ ​contract​ ​says they​ ​will​ ​get​ ​and​ ​the​ ​resident​ ​pays​ ​what​ ​the​ ​contract​ ​says​ ​they​ ​will​ ​pay.​ ​ ​Most​ ​retirement​ ​village contracts​ ​do​ ​require​ ​payment​ ​of​ ​a​ ​deferred​ ​management​ ​fee​ ​and​ ​other​ ​costs​ ​when​ ​the​ ​resident leaves​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​not​ ​unusual​ ​in​ ​our​ ​experience​ ​for​ ​a​ ​resident​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​around​ ​40%​ ​to​ ​50%​ ​of​ ​the

https://signpostlms.com.au amount​ ​the​ ​the​ ​unit​ ​sells​ ​for​ ​and​ ​often​ ​the​ ​resident​ ​is​ ​paying​ ​outgoings​ ​and​ ​monthly​ ​fees​ ​for quite​ ​a​ ​while​ ​after​ ​they​ ​have​ ​left​ ​the​ ​village. In​ ​our​ ​experience,​ ​retirement​ ​village​ ​units​ ​are​ ​generally​ ​less​ ​expensive​ ​to​ ​acquire​ ​than​ ​a​ ​similar freehold​ ​property​ ​in​ ​the​ ​same​ ​geographic​ ​location​ ​but,​ ​in​ ​our​ ​experience,​ ​do​ ​not​ ​appreciate​ ​as rapidly​ ​as​ ​other​ ​property.​ ​ ​There​ ​is​ ​no​ ​doubt​ ​they​ ​are​ ​not​ ​a​ ​sound​ ​financial​ ​investment.​ ​They​ ​are a​ ​lifestyle​ ​investment. Understand​ ​What​ ​You​ ​Are​ ​Buying In​ ​terms​ ​of​ ​the​ ​resident​ ​entitlements,​ ​residents​ ​should​ ​look​ ​closely​ ​at​ ​the​ ​agreement​ ​(and​ ​get legal​ ​advice)​ ​about​ ​what​ ​exactly​ ​they​ ​are​ ​entitled​ ​to​ ​under​ ​the​ ​contract.​ ​ ​The​ ​contract​ ​may specify​ ​social​ ​events​ ​or​ ​services​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​understand​ ​what​ ​exactly​ ​the​ ​village​ ​is agreeing​ ​to​ ​provide.​ ​ ​The​ ​resident​ ​is​ ​not​ ​entitled​ ​to​ ​anything​ ​other​ ​than​ ​what​ ​is​ ​in​ ​the​ ​agreement (so,​ ​for​ ​example,​ ​if​ ​the​ ​resident​ ​is​ ​told​ ​there​ ​are​ ​free​ ​drinks​ ​for​ ​residents​ ​every​ ​Friday​ ​night,​ ​that might​ ​not​ ​be​ ​in​ ​the​ ​contract​ ​and,​ ​if​ ​it​ ​does​ ​say​ ​that​ ​in​ ​the​ ​contract,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​probably​ ​another clause​ ​that​ ​says​ ​that​ ​can​ ​change).​ ​Contracts​ ​will​ ​not​ ​say​ ​you​ ​will​ ​have​ ​a​ ​fabulous​ ​time​ ​in​ ​our village​ ​because​ ​of​ ​course​ ​that​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​guaranteed. As​ ​residents​ ​usually​ ​go​ ​to​ ​a​ ​village​ ​for​ ​the​ ​community,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​really​ ​important​ ​that​ ​potential residents​ ​ensure​ ​they​ ​will​ ​fit​ ​in​ ​with​ ​the​ ​community​ ​before​ ​they​ ​move​ ​in.​ ​ ​It​ ​will​ ​not​ ​work​ ​if everyone​ ​else​ ​in​ ​the​ ​village​ ​speaks​ ​Swahili​ ​and​ ​you​ ​do​ ​not.​ ​ ​Most​ ​villages​ ​will​ ​give​ ​you​ ​an opportunity​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​other​ ​residents​ ​before​ ​signing​ ​up​ ​and​ ​we​ ​think​ ​that​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most important​ ​things​ ​to​ ​do​ ​before​ ​committing.​ ​ ​This​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​risk​ ​if​ ​the​ ​unit​ ​is​ ​being​ ​sold​ ​off​ ​the​ ​plan. So,​ ​in​ ​summary,​ ​living​ ​in​ ​a​ ​retirement​ ​village​ ​can​ ​be​ ​great​ ​and​ ​might​ ​be​ ​the​ ​right​ ​choice​ ​for​ ​you. They​ ​are​ ​expensive​ ​and​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​understand​ ​what​ ​you​ ​are​ ​getting​ ​and​ ​what​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be paying.​ ​ ​You​ ​should​ ​get​ ​legal​ ​advice​ ​before​ ​you​ ​sign​ ​the​ ​contract.​ ​ ​If​ ​you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​expert​ ​legal advice,​ ​call​ ​us​ ​on​ ​1800​ ​744​ ​676.
