What to Consider About Assisted Living in Auburn

Located in Lee County, Auburn, Alabama, has a population of 63,000 with seniors ages 65 and over accounting for 7 percent. For those aging adults who are no longer fully independent and in need of some assistance with activities of daily living, Auburn has two assisted living facilities and there is one more nearby in Opelika. ALFs in Alabama are regulated by the Alabama Department of Public Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Auburn

 

  • Although the cost of living in Auburn is 4.2 percent higher than the national average, this is mostly attributed to housing and grocery costs. The cost of healthcare in Auburn is actually 12 percent below the national average, which is a huge benefit for seniors on a budget.
  • According to the American Lung Association, the air quality in Auburn is above the national average. Auburn is ranked 68 out of 187 metropolitan areas for particle pollution and 122 out of 227 for high ozone days.
  • Lee-Russell Public Transit operates a dial-a-ride system for seniors to assist them in safely traveling throughout the county.
  • Auburn has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with only one major hospital, East Alabama Medical Center, in the Auburn area.
  • Auburn experiences 227 sunny days per year and above-average rainfall at 53 inches per year. This makes Auburn a comfortable climate for seniors who are sensitive to either heat or cold weather. 
  • Auburn has a high property crime rate. At 44.3, it is 6.2 points higher than the national average of 38.1, meaning the chances of being a victim of theft or vandalism are increased.
