Once a mid-sized manufacturing city, Aurora has grown tremendously since the 1960s, swelling to an impressive 197,899 citizens. Drawn by decades of dependable factory jobs, generations of European immigrants flocked to the city, from Great Britian, Ireland, Scandanavia, Luxembourg, Germany, France and Italy. Nicknamed the &ldquo;City of Lights,&rdquo; it was one of the first cities in the United States to implement an all-electric street lighting system.
 A city with a real wealth of history, a progressive city with a tradition of inclusiveness and tolerance, Aurora is also home to an impressive amount of notable architecture, including structures by

Sunnymere is a non-profit organization which strives to provide gracious living accommodations for senior citizens. Based on the belief that human dignity is paramount, facilities are provided at moderate, subsidized prices and accommodations are maintained at a level responsive to the changing needs of the community.
 
 
The seed was planted in 1895 with a gift of a house and lot from Harriet Colby. The Old Ladies' Home of Aurora was established. Another Auroran, Clara Bowron bequeathed her entire estate to establish the Bowron Home.
 
 
Realizing the necessity of a larger home for a growing community, the Old Ladies' Home and the Bowron Home combined resources to build Sunnymere on the land given by Jessie Farnsworth. The name Sunnymere was selected as a memorial to her, and the first residents moved in on July 16, 1939.
 
 
Sunnymere has undergone many changes since those early years. Today, Sunnymere is a licensed sheltered care home for seniors 65 years and older. Sunnymere has always provided residential care for Independent seniors. In 1998, due to a recognized need for assisted living services at a reasonable cost, Sunnymere began providing assisted living.
