Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pelham

  • The mild southern climate in Pelham gives seniors year-round comfort. It receives minimal snowfall during winter and has an average low of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in January. This allows seniors to enjoy golfing, camping, fishing and other forms of outdoor recreation in Oak Mountain State Park.
  • Pelham’s overall cost of living is 3 percent higher than the U.S. average primarily due to expensive housing. Other expense categories are below the national averages, and the cost of assisted living is lower than in Hoover and Birmingham.
  • Retirees in Pelham may enjoy significant tax savings as the state of Alabama exempts taxation on social security income, pensions and some forms of compensation and allowances.
  • With an overall crime rate being 16 percent lower than the national and where the majority of crimes reported are under the non-violent theft category, Pelham is a relatively safe city for seniors. It's found to be safer than 51 percent of the cities in the country.
  • Pelham is a car-dependent city, and there is no local public transportation system currently available. The local senior center has its own bus transportation for use on scheduled activities. For ADA individuals and residents 60+ traveling in Shelby, Jefferson and Walker Counties, ClasTran offers subsidized, shared curb-to-curb rides.
  • The Pelham area is home to world-class medical facilities including Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Shelby County and the Pelham and Oak Mountain branches of Brookwood Baptist Health Primary Care in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
