Nursing homes across Portage County, Ohio, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Kensington At Anna Maria runs 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and its five-star health inspection and quality ratings suggest that staffing shows up where it counts. The caution is in staffing consistency: weekends drop roughly 11 percent below weekday levels, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. Four deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Turnover sits at 42.9 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent. Corporate for-profit ownership, 99 beds, and a solid but not flawless record.
Anna Maria Of Aurora runs on 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 25.9% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that stability matters more than a snapshot of raw hours. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. The current record carries 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, which is the number to press administrators on. The last inspection was December 22, 2025, and its quality measures score well while inspections land mid-range.
Altercare Post-Acute Rehab Center sits in Kent with 79 certified beds and a corporate for-profit owner. The numbers that matter most here are clean: five deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a state inspection completed in July 2025. Nurse staffing runs 3.96 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. Staff turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The trade-off is staffing depth: the government rates that piece 3 out of 5, even as inspections and quality measures both earn top marks.
Tamarack Ridge runs a 96-bed for-profit home in Kent, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: seven deficiencies on file, none serious enough to cause harm, and a survey completed in April 2025. The abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Staffing is thinner than average, 3.63 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 40.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many competitors. Quality measures score well; staffing is the softer spot.
Avenue At Aurora is a for-profit LLC home with 98 certified beds in Aurora, and its inspection record has some real strengths: 14 deficiencies on file, only one at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, and a recent inspection date of January 20, 2026. The clinical quality measures also look strong at 5 out of 5 stars. Where the picture weakens is staffing. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, the home runs about 7% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 54.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new.
Majestic Care of Kent runs on 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and staffing thins out further on weekends. That gap matters more when you look at who's providing the care: 64.1% of staff turned over in the past year, against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record is heavy, 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse. A recent inspection in September 2025 means the findings are current, not old history. The quality measure score looks strong, but it's built largely from resident assessments, while the staffing and inspection scores tell a different story about daily conditions.
Arbors At Streetsboro runs 88 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 4.00 nurse hours per resident day. That edge shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover is the bigger concern: 65.8% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get serious, 55 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, eight abuse-related, and a one-star health inspection rating, though quality measures score 4/5 and the most recent inspection was March 2026. One fine totaling $10,842 is on record.
Woodlands Health and Rehab Center is a 95-bed for-profit home in Ravenna, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 13% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and 60% of staff turned over in a year versus 45.8% nationally, that's a lot of unfamiliar faces. Its inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with one $14,680 fine and a last survey in September 2024. The 4/5 quality measure score looks better on paper, but that rating partly reflects what staff document, and thin, churning staffing makes those numbers harder to trust.
Longmeadow Care Center runs about 3.06 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage slips another 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 61.2% against a national figure near 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record tells its own story: 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $47,486 fine. The most recent state inspection was in April 2025, so the findings are current rather than stale. Corporate for-profit ownership. The quality-measure scores look strong on paper, but a one-star inspection rating and thin, churning staffing are what families actually live with day to day.
Aurora Manor runs on 3.57 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 66.7 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Inspectors have cited 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in January 2026. Corporate ownership and a two-star inspection history round out the picture. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about abuse-prevention training and who actually staffs the weekend shifts.
