Nursing care averages 3.3 hours per resident daily, with only 0.9 hours from a registered nurse. Staff turnover is high at 48% annually. These numbers suggest limited direct nursing time and frequent staff changes, which can impact consistent care. The average rating aligns with these staffing challenges.

Aurora’s homes show low overall ratings, but the two four-star facilities are the highest-rated options locally. Families should investigate these specifically before considering nearby towns.
