Troy used to be a pioneer settlement in British West Florida, but now it's the quaint Colonial seat of Pike County, Alabama. Only 18,000 people live in Troy, around 11% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. Two assisted living facilities operate within the city limits, where seniors who need help to live independently can find safe and comfortable accommodations. These facilities in Troy, like all residential care communities in the state, are licensed and regulated by the Alabama Department of Public Health, Board of Public Health.
