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.
