- The McCalla area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Bessemer.
- The American Lung Association gives Jefferson County, where McCalla is located, an F for ozone pollution and an A for short-term particle pollution, as well as a passing score for annual particle pollution. Because a region's air quality can significantly impact residents' quality of life, seniors may want to talk to their doctors about how McCalla's air quality could affect their health.

On a 100-point scale with a low score representing less reported crime, the community's violent crime rate is 14.7, compared to the U.S. average of 22.7, and the property crime rate is 19.2, versus the national average of 35.4.
- The overall cost of living in McCalla is about 12% higher than the statewide average but on par with the national average, which may be a consideration for seniors who are living on a fixed income.
