What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pharr

Pharr, Texas, is a vibrant part of the Rio Grande Valley. It features plenty of activities, both indoor at one of several museums, or outdoor, at the local zoo or on walking trails near the river. The city of Pharr has a population of nearly 80,000; seniors aged 65 and older comprise 11.4 percent. To manage the assisted living needs of those seniors, Pharr has 17 facilities, with a further 49 nearby. 

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services licenses assisted living facilities, issuing the license and determining regulations for facilities based on two levels of care. This is based on residents' physical and mental ability to evacuate the facility in an emergency and whether the residents require overnight care and supervision. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Pharr

  • Pharr weather is hot and humid, tropical, with breezes from the nearby Gulf of Mexico. July high temperatures averaging 97 degrees Fahrenheit and January lows around 49 degrees. Pharr may be uncomfortable for seniors whose health conditions are aggravated by high temperatures.  

  • The cost of living in Marble Falls is 78, compared to the U.S. baseline of 100. The main difference is due to housing prices, as Pharr homes are an average of half the national average. This may make a difference in housing costs for seniors in assisted living, as well. Both grocery costs and healthcare are a little more than 10 percent under the national average. 

  • The city's violent crime rate is 30.7 out of 100, while the U.S. average is 31.1. However, the property crime rate in Pharr is higher than the national average, at 55.2 versus 38.1. Seniors are encouraged to use caution, as property crimes can range from petty theft to larceny. 

  • Pharr is serviced by the Valley Metro, a bus service facilitated by the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council. Those 60 and older, disabled individuals and veterans are eligible for reduced fares. 

  • The Pharr area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Rio Grande Regional Hospital and The McAllen Heart Hospital hospital branches, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Air quality in Pharr scores a 77, which is much better than the U.S. average of 58. The moisture in the air, as well as the overall cleanliness, may help seniors with respiratory conditions breathe easier.
