NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
North Aurora Living & Rehab Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the facility's care quality. It ranks #587 out of 665 nursing homes in Illinois, placing it in the bottom half of the state, and #21 out of 25 in Kane County, meaning there are only a few local options that perform better. While the facility is showing a trend of improvement, with issues decreasing from 15 in 2024 to 10 in 2025, the overall situation remains troubling, evidenced by 47 deficiencies found during inspections, including critical failures to provide CPR and protect residents from sexual abuse. Staffing is a relative strength, with a turnover rate of 43%, which is below the state average, and the facility has better RN coverage than 89% of similar facilities, suggesting staff stability and oversight. However, the facility has incurred $96,800 in fines, which raises concerns about repeated compliance issues. Families should weigh these serious shortcomings against the relatively stronger staffing situation when considering this facility for their loved ones.

A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr Staffed?
CMS rates NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 43%, compared to the Illinois average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care. RN turnover specifically is 67%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

These included: 4 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 4 that caused actual resident harm, and 39 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr?
NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 129 certified beds and approximately 91 residents (about 71% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in NORTH AURORA, Illinois.
How Does North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr Compare to Other Illinois Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Illinois, NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.5, staff turnover (43%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 4 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Illinois. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr Stick Around?
NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR has a staff turnover rate of 43%, which is about average for Illinois nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr Ever Fined?
NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR has been fined $96,800 across 3 penalty actions. This is above the Illinois average of $34,047. Fines in this range indicate compliance issues significant enough for CMS to impose meaningful financial consequences. Common causes include delayed correction of deficiencies, repeat violations, or care failures affecting resident safety. Families should ask facility leadership what changes have been made since these penalties.
Is North Aurora Living & Rehab Ctr on Any Federal Watch List?
NORTH AURORA LIVING & REHAB CTR is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
