Anna Maria of Aurora, Inc. is a 43-bed skilled nursing facility at 889 North Aurora Road, Aurora, Portage County, Ohio. Administrator Aaron Baker operates the facility under Norton Bros. Holding Company.
The community provides post-acute rehabilitation, short-term skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, and home care services, with nursing care averaging 3 hours 47 minutes per resident daily (1 percent below Ohio average).
Inspection findings over the past six years warrant careful attention. Two falls with injury in December 2024 stand out as the most significant regulatory event. A resident with dementia and mobility impairments sustained rib fractures on September 27 after a therapy assistant left him unattended in the rehabilitation gym, and a broken wrist on October 5 after staff placed him at a table for a snack without supervision. Both incidents reflected failures in fall prevention protocols and ongoing staff supervision.
The surveyor found that the facility understood the resident required constant monitoring and contact assistance to prevent falls, yet staff repeatedly left him unattended. Prior deficiencies in August 2023 included unsecured medication left in an unlocked entryway (43 medication cards and pills in an open paper bag on a public table), kitchen sanitation failures with grease buildup and food debris on equipment and storage surfaces, and failure to convey a deceased resident’s funds within 30 days of death. A July 2024 complaint investigation substantiated misappropriation of a resident’s debit card and cash during a suspected staff theft, with the facility issuing a permanent suspension pending ATM video evidence. In December 2025, the facility failed to place a resident’s new hearing aids in her ears despite family requests and physician orders, leaving the resident attempting to insert them herself with shaky hands.
That same month, an x-ray technician entered a COVID-positive resident’s room wearing only a surgical mask instead of the required N95, violating droplet precaution protocols. Earlier deficiencies in December 2019 involved failure to continue winter activities and dine-in programs a resident specifically requested, and serving room-service trays at unappetizing temperatures.
Strong quality outcomes offer a counterbalance to the inspection record. The facility earns a 5 out of 5 overall CMS rating with a 4 out of 5 health inspection rating (state average 2.9). For long-stay residents, high-risk clinical events score 3.7, 36 percent better than state average; functional decline score 6.4, 50 percent better; depressive symptoms at 6.1 percent, 75 percent better than state average; and antipsychotic use at 4.8 percent, 43 percent better. Pneumococcal vaccination reached 100 percent.
Falls with major injury at 3.5 percent track with state average; pressure ulcers at 4.1 percent run slightly above state average at 3.9 percent.
Occupancy stands at 89.7 percent, 14 percent above state average, with predominantly short-stay Medicare rehabilitation residents (31 percent, 24-day average stay) and private-pay short-stay residents (65 percent, 4 to 5-month average). The facility generated $20.2 million in revenue with $1.5 million net profit. Staffing includes 26 registered nurses, 46 licensed practical nurses, and 148 certified nursing assistants (35 percent better staff-to-resident ratio than state average).
Families should ask about corrections following the September and October 2024 falls, supervision during therapy and meals, medication security, kitchen sanitation, and infection control compliance.
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.

This home is ranked 60th out of 203 homes in Ohio for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 24% State avg: 38m 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.
| 1h 2m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 58m 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.
| 2h 43m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 2h 8m 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.
| 3h 39m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 67% State avg: 3m 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.
| 21m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
