About
Aurora Center for Healing is a psychiatric residential treatment facility in Hawthorne, Nevada. A 2022 Mineral County Independent News report described the center as a new 60-bed facility for teen boys and girls ages 13 to 18. Nevada legislative audit materials later listed Aurora Center for Healing as a psychiatric residential treatment facility in Hawthorne with a maximum capacity of 60 beds.
The Nevada legislative audit said inspectors visited Aurora Center for Healing in May 2024 and found health, safety, and rights deficiencies. In May 2025, KRNV reported that the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health suspended Aurora's health-facility license on April 8, 2025, after complaints, financial penalties in late 2024, and additional violations found in early 2025. The report said children then at the facility were transferred to new placements and that the facility had no residents.
