Brief History

Anna Maria was founded in 1965 by Robert and Loretta Norton as a small nursing home with the philosophy of "a sincere belief in the worth and dignity of every human life".

Forty-five years later the family tradition of caring and quality services continues under the direction of their two sons, Robert and George, who have owned and operated Anna Maria since 1982. Since their involvement, a full continuum of care is available on what is now called The Campus of Anna Maria, located on 60 scenic acres in Aurora, Ohio.

We welcome your visit. Come see for yourself what we are all about.
