Yesterday we had a bittersweet send off for Erica as she embarks on a new professional journey! Erica joined the Norlite family in August 2024 as a dietary aide before transitioning to activites coordinator last summer. We are grateful for all of the time, care, energy, and love she put into the residents here. Good luck on you're next adventure!

Our laundry services are temporarily changing to a facility in Escanaba due to Eastwood's laundry working on installing new dryers! This is estimated to be a 4-6 week project. In the meantime a service in Escanaba will be picking up and returning our laundry on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's. This means that our turn around will be 48-72 hours instead of the normal 24 hours. Please contact Tabi or Taylor in our Social Services department if you would like to temporarily change to family laundry instead of Norlite laundry for your loved one. We thank you for patience and understanding!

This morning, Betsy from the Marquette Regional History Center gave our residents a special presentation on the railroads in Marquette County! It was so interesting being able to look at how influential the railroad system was and how it influences our community to this day. A few of our residents even recognized the railroads from riding them themselves in the past!

A huge thank you to Darlene and her sweet pup, Bwca, for coming in this morning to share a presentation with us on sled dogs and the history of mushing in the UP! Although Bwca is not officially a sled dog, she did look very professional in the harness demonstration!

Last week our Winter Carnival King and Queen had a royal parade around the facility, where they were celebrated and cheered on by staff and residents! Even though this was a special, annual crowning, our goal is to help all of our residents feel royal all year long!

đź’™ February Teammate of the Month: Ona Dalman đź’™

Please join us in congratulating Ona Dalman, our February Teammate of the Month, recognized by her peers for exceptional work as a Medication Aide at Norlite.

Ona’s nominations spoke loud and clear—she is kind, hardworking, professional, and deeply committed to the residents she serves. She consistently goes above and beyond, advocates for resident needs, supports her coworkers, and leads with compassion and maturity. Whether mentoring new CNAs, lending a helping hand during busy shifts, or delivering thoughtful and thorough care, Ona exemplifies what teamwork and dedication look like.

Ona began her journey at Norlite in January 2022 as a CNA, later completing Medication Aide training as part of our first-ever training cohort. Since March 2023, she has served as a trusted mentor for new CNAs, plays an active role on our QAPI team, and continues to grow professionally while pursuing her degree at Northern Michigan University.

We are incredibly proud of Ona and grateful for the heart, professionalism, and positivity she brings to Norlite every day. đź’«

Congratulations, Ona—you’ve earned this recognition!

👏💙👏

HUGE special mention also goes out to Christian Fladung, who also received a ton of votes. Christian is dependable, he thinks outside the box, and he shows so much gratitude to his teammates. He’s a great listener, he’s compassionate, and Norlite is so much better because of him. THANK YOU, CHRISTIAN!

🎉 January Teammate of the Month – Congratulations, Hope Kaukola! 🎉

Hope was one of the top vote-getters this month, and her nominations said it all: hardworking, positive, kind, flexible, always willing to help, and truly an all-star teammate. đź’™

Hope joined Norlite last February as a Hospitality Aide and became a CNA in August—and she continues to impress us every step of the way.

Last week, during the severe winter storm when our entire Dietary Department was unable to report to work, Hope stepped up in an extraordinary way. After completing her CNA shift, she stayed on and helped cook breakfast and lunch for the entire facility, working a total of 18 hours to ensure our residents were cared for and nourished. She calmly led others unfamiliar with kitchen operations and helped guide the team through a very high-risk situation with confidence and compassion.

Hope’s selflessness, leadership, and dedication truly reflect the very best of Team Norlite. Thank you for going above and beyond—our residents and your teammates are better because of you! 🌟

👏 Please join us in congratulating Hope Kaukola, January’s Teammate of the Month! 👏

Special Mention also goes out to Courteney Belford, Jed Nordine and Ella Leadingham who each received at least 5 votes! Thank you to this entire team of rockstars on the Night Shift!
