At 85, Wera Paani Awarau has lived a life marked by legacy, love, and resilience.
From the son of a 28th Māori Battalion captain and a multilingual Niuean-Samoan mother, to a devoted husband, father, and proud East Coaster — his story is one of strength through loss and laughter through the years.
Today, surrounded by aroha at Norfolk Rest Home, Wera reminds us that the secret to a long life is simple: ‘Breathing, living life, and getting up each day.’

Staff recognition Wednesday!

This week, we want to recognize Gretchen, a truly lovely and caring member of our team. Originally a nurse in the Philippines, Gretchen has brought her exceptional skills and compassionate heart to Norfolk, where she works as a fully trained dementia caregiver.
Her dedication and kindness make a profound difference every day, not only to those in her care but to all of us fortunate enough to work alongside her. Thank you, Gretchen, for your unwavering commitment and the warmth you bring to our community. We appreciate you!
