What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fenelton

Fenelton, population 2,036, is a small unincorporated city in Butler County, which is located in the west-central region of Pennsylvania. In this county, seniors account for over 15% of the population of 184,000 people

There are over three dozen assisted living facilities in the Fenelton region, including two within the city proper. These facilities may either be licensed by the Department of Aging as assisted living residences or by the Department of Public Welfare as personal care homes. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fenelton

  • Seniors in Fenelton do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits or income from retirement accounts, and taxpayers age 60 and older do not pay state income tax on public or private pension income. 
  • The overall cost of living in Fenelton is right on par with state and national averages. Transportation expenses here are about 25% higher than the national average, which may affect seniors who drive their own vehicles or use public transportation. However, this may be offset by other living expenses like housing, groceries and healthcare, which are all lower than the national median.   
  • The crime rate in Fenelton is lower than the national average, which may make the city an attractive option for safety-minded seniors. On a 100-point index, the community's property crime rate is 24.3, versus the national average of 35.4, and the violent crime rate is 19.9, compared to the national average of 22.7.
  • The Fenelton area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Butler.
  • Temperatures in Fenelton range between 18 and 83 degrees, compared to the U.S. averages of 22 and 86 degrees. The region receives about 35 inches of annual snowfall, which is about 7 inches more than the U.S. average of 28 inches and may pose a problem for seniors who rely on mobility aids.  
  • Transportation for seniors in Fenelton is provided by Butler County Community Action, which operates shared ride and demand response service, and by Butler Transit Authority, which provides free transit for seniors.
