Aurora Behavioral Health System

I worked at Aurora for 6 years, serving as both a nurse (RN) and a Behavioral Health Technician (BHT), and I dedicated myself to providing high-quality care. Throughout my tenure, I developed excellent relationships with staff at all levels--doctors, nurses, BHTs--and I was deeply passionate about helping patients with psychiatric and addiction issues, particularly in addiction recovery. As someone in recovery myself (over 10 years sober from alcohol), this work was not just a job but a calling.During my 6 years at Aurora, I received positive annual reviews every year, took minimal time off, and worked through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. I expanded my roles into ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) and outpatient nursing, and I even worked many weekends to help cover staffing shortages. I was truly invested in the organization and its patients.However, after 6 years of loyal service, I was fired without warning--via voicemail, two days before Thanksgiving. Stay Away!

WARNING: Don't do it. Conduct thorough research before admitting yourself or someone you love to this center.My family member entered Aurora Behavioral Health to get help. He got the opposite of that. This facility's standards are unacceptable. It's time to educate your ineffective team properly. Luna Viva Ananda is a psychiatrist. I cannot call her a doctor because that's a title you earn by delivering humane healthcare needs to your patients. Luna lacks empathy and bedside manners. She is a prime example of why this system is broken.
