The town offers two assisted living facilities (ALFs) and 13 nearby to seniors. Primary responsibilities include providing aid with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as grooming and bathing, outdoor recreation and medication management.

  • Aurora has elevated property and violent crime rates (between 75 to 95 percent higher) when compared to the national average.

  • Chilly winter temperatures that range between 34 to 48 degrees and drop as low as 23 degrees can be unpleasant for seniors. Alternatively, summers are often mild with temperatures ranging from 65 to 80 degrees with high rainfall.

  • The air quality in Aurora is considered to be 21 percent better than the national average. Pollution levels are also significantly lower, 73 percent better than the national average, which makes it a suitable environment for residents with respiratory problems.
