Overview of Aurora on France Senior Living
Aurora on France Senior Living is a 130-bed nursing home located on France Avenue in Edina, Minnesota. Owned by Nadette Waligora, the facility accepts Medicare and private pay to cover care expenses. The surrounding neighborhood is highly walkable, allowing visitors to handle most errands entirely on foot.
The facility focuses heavily on transitional care, with residents staying for an average of just 22 days as they move through post-acute rehabilitation and recovery. To support this fast-paced environment, the floor staff provides 7 hours and 17 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, which includes 5 hours and 54 minutes of daily care specifically from nurse aides. This setup is designed for individuals recovering from surgery, managing complex medical needs, or transitioning out of a hospital stay.
Daily life includes a mix of therapy routines and social activities, such as weekly coffee visits, movie outings, shopping trips, and spiritual programming. Residents also have access to wellness classes and outdoor spaces. The 24-hour staff handles daily treatments and rehab services, and the facility offers respite care for families needing short-term skilled support.
Prospective individuals checking out local options can find a practical setup for short-term recovery due to the heavy rehab focus and the convenient location. The admissions department can be reached directly to clarify current bed availability, confirm specific insurance coverages, or arrange an in-person tour of the campus.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Standout metric
Weekend RN is +187% above state avg
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 2h 40m per day | ▲ 149% State avg: 1h 4m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 44m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 9m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 5h 52m per day | ▲ 60% State avg: 3h 40m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 11m per day | ▲ 144% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 1h 59m per day | ▲ 187% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
