What to Consider About Assisted Living in North Aurora
The charming village of North Aurora, Illinois, lies 35 miles west of Chicago. The thriving downtown district and lovely open spaces attract plenty of young families, so only 9.6 percent of the approximately 18,000 residents are senior citizens. Due to its convenient location in the suburbs, however, there are more than 30 assisted living facilities to choose from in the general area.
Assisted living facilities in North Aurora must renew their license each year with the Illinois Department of Public Health, which requires them to follow state laws and regulations. Since each senior citizen has unique needs, assisted living facilities are required to create a service plan for each individual resident.
