Our family just had a really great experience at Aurora. The new ownership seems like they are doing some real renovations (which is awesome and needed!) and the staff there was always patient and welcoming. It’s nice to have a nursing home in our community that you can rely on!!

This place is absolutely horrible, my mother came here to get rehab after a stint at the hospital and the condition and care here is absolutely atrocious! You only send people here who you don’t want to see nor care about. Ascend in Aurora has the most deplorable living conditions and care I have ever seen in a facility and trust me mother has been to a lot of them over the years! She left with a concussion, massive bruising and a broken toe after 4yrs

I want to personally thank you for the excellent care you took of my brother over the last 18 months. After every visit with him, I left feeling incredibly grateful. I always knew that he wasn't just being taken care of—he truly felt at home there and felt like part of your family.
