Aged Care Finance - Zenith Finance Cpmpany, Australia

At Zenith Finance, we are progressive, inventive and strive to be good corporate citizens in the area of finance. Through our Seniors Housing and Aged Care Finance division, we blend the best of each.
Call Sam Leon on on 1300 288 874 to discuss financing for aged-care housing.










Australia’s Age of Ageing – 60 is the new 40

It’s no news that Australia’s population is ageing fast. More and more people:
  • live longer
  • work well into their 70s and 80s
  • have children in their second, third and fourth marriages.

Retirement ‘tribes’

Retirement has shifted from a “door closing” to a “door opening” stage of life. Even from the age of 50, people are starting to think about a new quality and quantity of lifestyle when they finally do retire – enjoyed around people they connect with.
This has led to planning and development of ‘lifestyle living’ communities based around entire ‘tribes’ of people. It goes way beyond simple sea-change and tree-change moves.

A huge growth in ‘lifestyle living’ communities

We are now seeing:
  • affordable gated communities
  • 24-hour concierge service and security.
  • pools, tennis courts, coffee shops and outdoor barbecue areas
  • silver service dining rooms
  • putting and bowling greens
  • beauty salons
  • fully equipped gymnasiums
  • organised activities
  • high-speed cable Internet
  • adjacent golf course
  • function centre
  • and much more.
We have seen developments themed like an Italian village – cobblestones in the “ marketplace”, pizzeria, alfresco dining, bubbling brooks and little waterfalls.

Mega campuses heading to Australia

Then there are the mega campuses – yet to appear in Australia, where entire villages of self-care and low-care homes and home units, sit alongside medium-care and into high-care facilities and ultimately a Hospice.
These huge developments will find their way into the Australian way of life within a decade. And they require large and sophisticated financing.

The changing face of aged care

Yesterday’s grim nursing home has given way to today’s modern, airy, high-quality and government compliance-standard legislated, low, medium and high care mature-age living facilities. These projects cater to a growing clientele that are spread across the socio-economic spectrum.

Thousands of new seniors bed licenses

In February 2010, 2,224 new bed licences have just been released in NSW alone. This means between 20 and 30 new seniors housing developments will commence in the next 12 months, mainly in the greater Sydney area.
Across Australia the number is 12,218 new bed licences.
The maximum funding provided by the Australian government towards community assistance with these developments is $150 million. That’ more than most international governments provide, but still way too little for a need that is way too great.

Specialists in Seniors Housing and Aged Care Finance

Our Seniors Housing and Aged Care Finance division provides a unique, specialised and very necessary service.
Headed by Sam Leon, senior consultant in retirement and aged housing finance, our team specialise in the retirement and aged-care housing sectors.

Highly experienced

Sam has studied ageing, aged care housing and both retirement and aged care financing for 10 years. He has been a long serving director of the Whiddon Group (Frank Whiddon Masonic Homes), a consultant to several retirement village developers and a consultant to a specific, market- focused, high care aged property-developer.

Established with funders

Sam knows and is known by all of the major funders in this specialised field. He is familiar with their requirements, documentation, LVRs, valuation requirements and funding preferences. He speaks their language – and equally important, he speaks your language.

Industry representatives

Sam was the opening speaker on day 2 of the Aged Care Association of Australia’s NSW conference in the first quarter of 2010.

Like to discuss your development in confidence?

Sam is available any time should you wish to discuss your proposed or approved development in complete confidence.

What is an operating lease and rental? - Medical Equipment Operating Lease

What is an operating lease and rental?
It’s a finance option that works well for medical equipment that depreciates quickly, has a short life span or is constantly in need of upgrading. It’s similar to a finance lease but, gives you more flexibility.
You might have also heard it called a rental agreement, rental, fully maintained operating lease or non maintained operating lease.








How do they work?

We purchase the medical equipment and rent it to you for an agreed payment over a fixed term.
You get to use the equipment without the hassle of disposing of it at the end of its life. It’s like renting your equipment over a fixed period.

What sort of medical equipment do operating leases best suit?

  • Computers
  • Telecommunications
  • Office equipment

 

What are the benefits of operating leases and rentals?

  • Upgrade, add and replace – make changes to your equipment throughout the contract
  • You keep your capital – no deposit required and we pay 100% for the equipment so you don’t need to tie up your funds
  • Less risk – because you don’t fork out a huge payment to buy the equipment
  • Short or long term contracts – from 2 to 5 years
  • Easy budgeting – fixed rental and interest so you always know what you’re up for
  • Tax advantages – 100% deductable when used solely for business
  • We pay GST – so you’re monthly payments are lower

Income protection - If you were ill for months or years how could you pay the bills?

More than likely you've heard of income protection insurance. A lot of Australians have, but feel that if they're going to spend money on insurance, they'd rather protect their car, house, life and health.
The trouble with this is that people do get seriously ill and find themselves out of work for months, years, even permanently. Unfortunately, life insurance can't help, and even top level health insurance only covers some of the medical bills in the short-term.

Thousands of Australians risk sliding into poverty

In 2008, the Australian Bureau of Statistics records show 7,624 Australians couldn't work (1) and relied on sickness allowance - if they have a partner, that's just $205.75 each per week (2).

With our cost of living now amongst the highest in the world, this can turn into a nightmare for the 69% of Australians who don't have any personal income protection insurance (3).

With no money coming in, they struggle to put food on the table, cloth the family and pay the basic bills - let alone keep up with the car repayments and average mortgage of $367,000 (4).

Should we protect our biggest asset first?

J-Lo's booty ($300 million), Mariah's legs ($1 billion) and The Boss's voice ($31 million) aside, being able to earn a living is the most valuable asset most of us will ever have. If you make $80,000 per annum now, it means you'll earn more than $2.6 million over the next 20 years (allowing for inflation).

And while there seems to be an insurance to cover just about anything these days - including alien abduction - income protection insurance is a smart and inexpensive way to ensure that you and your family don't have to worry about sliding into poverty if you get sick or injured.

How much does income protection insurance cost?

Here's an example of how cost-effective it is for a healthy, 40yo, non-smoking male working in an office:
  • Earning the average wage of $1,248.20 per week (5) 
  • Cost $62.47 per month (6)

If he gets sick or injured:
  • Insurer pays him 75% of his income, or $1,014.00 per week
  • Paid until he is well enough to return to work or age 65.

(The reason the benefit is not 100% is so that there's still an incentive to get well and back into a contributing role in society.)

Ways to pay and tax benefits if buying through an advisor

You can get Income Protection through an industry superannuation fund by purchasing additional units of cover, or via a life insurance adviser.

One of the biggest benefits of buying income protection outside your superannuation, is that it becomes a tax deductible cost , which significantly reduces its impact on your household budget.

Waiting and benefit periods can be adapted to your needs. And premiums can be paid monthly, quarterly or yearly.

The most precious benefit of all

Of course, whichever way you go, the irreplaceable benefit is peace of mind for the rest of your life knowing that if you're unlucky enough to be struck down with illness you and your family can maintain your current lifestyle while you're on the road to recovery. Even months and years after sick leave and health insurance have been exhausted and there's no salary coming in.
