My father recently moved to Aura and absolutely loves it there. The staff is all so kind and helpful. There are a ton of activities for him to do and he gets three great meals a day! Gives me piece of mind to know he is being so well looked after and has so many opportunities to interact with the friends he has made there.

The amenities are outstanding including but not limited to the indoor pool, fitness center, golf simulator and outdoor activities.<br><br>The food and food service are excellent.<br><br>The staff under the capable leadership of Executive Director, Christine Cross, work tirelessly to make Aura our home and enrich our day to day lives.<br><br>Gail McLaughlin, Resident Services Director, goes above and beyond to provide a robust list of daily activities. The choices are varied and always enjoyable. We recently had a memorable trip to a winery for a tasting and dinner. At Aura you can be as busy as you choose to be.<br><br>Our fellow residents made the transition to Aura really easy. They are friendly and welcoming.
