What to Consider About Assisted Living in Trussville

Assisted living facilities in Trussville comply with regulations set by the Alabama Department of Public Health, Bureau of Health Provider Standards. This agency is responsible for setting minimum standards for housing, staff training and care planning. It monitors compliance with an initial licensing process and regular on-site inspections and by following up on complaints of substandard conditions or care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Trussville

 

  • Seniors in Alabama pay state income taxes on disbursements from retirement savings accounts at rates ranging from 2% to 5%. However, the state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits or income from public or private pensions. This may make assisted living in Trussville financially feasible for those who rely on these forms of income.
  • Trussville’s humid subtropical climate brings mild winters and hot summers, making the city an attractive retirement destination for active seniors. Rainfall occurs year-round, with the wettest months falling between April and October, for a total of 56 inches of rain. Temperatures range from lows of 31 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.
  • The overall cost of living in Trussville is slightly higher than the state norm but well below the national average, which may result in competitive assisted living costs. On a 100-point scale based on national living costs, the city scores 87, just a little higher than Alabama’s score of 84.1. This indicates that living costs in this city are about 3% higher than what’s typical for Alabama but 13% lower than the national norm.
  • The majority of crime that occurs in Trussville is property-related. On a 100-point crime scale, the city rates 54.9 for property crime compared to 35.4 nationally. However, it’s worth noting that this type of crime has declined over the past two decades and its frequency has been near state and national norms for several years. The violent crime score is 13.7 versus the national norm of 22.7, which may provide peace of mind to seniors considering local long-term care options.
  • There are no hospitals in Trussville, but the city’s proximity to Birmingham gives residents access to high-performing facilities, such as Ascension St. Vincent’s East and Brookwood Baptist Medical Center. There are about 350 doctors per capita in this city compared to 210 nationally, which may support prompt, diverse medical services for assisted living residents.
