What should families know about senior care in Hoover, AL?
Hoover straddles the Jefferson-Shelby county line south of Birmingham, stretching from the Riverchase Galleria and Interstate 459 out to Ross Bridge, Trace Crossings and the Greystone area along U.S. 280. Because the city sits in two counties, the area agency on aging a family calls depends on the side of the line the parent lives on: Jefferson County residents go through the United Way Area Agency on Aging, Shelby County residents through M4A in Alabaster.
ADPH's roster lists Hoover addresses on both sides of that line, and several of the area's largest congregate campuses pair an assisted living license with a specialty care (SCALF) license for memory care. Many families also look just across the city limit at communities with Birmingham mailing addresses in the 35242 and 35244 ZIP codes.
