Overview of Anna Maria of Aurora

Set up for nursing home care, assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing, Anna Maria of Aurora operates in Aurora, OH.

The license requires licensed nursing staff on hand at any hour. Bathing, dressing, and medication management all require staff help under assisted living. Independent living carries the community’s services and amenities, but stops before the care starts. Home care is the arrangement that travels to somebody’s own residence instead of them going here.

What sends a resident to memory care is a wandering risk, and so that level is secured and supervised. Respite is what a family caregiver arranges before travel or a recovery takes them out of the picture for a while. All seven are listed together, so a growing need gets answered without having to move to a new address.

Occupancy stands at 100%, so all 43 beds are spoken for. Nursing time per resident is 3 hours and 36 minutes a day, on average. Short-Term Rehabilitation covers a temporary stay following illness, injury, or a procedure.

Volunteer Opportunities and a Charity Car Show are both named programs. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, and so is private pay.

Somewhat Walkable is how to best describe a walk score of 64; some errands can be done on foot.
