Football Legends Have a Ball at Vida Healthcare

The UK’s leading provider of dementia care, Vida Healthcare, has welcomed famous football players through its doors to reminisce with residents.

Three retired players from Leeds United Football Club (LUFC) visited residents at Vida Healthcare’s latest care home, Vida Court. Tony Dorigo, Eddie Gray and Paul Reaney spent time with residents and staff, and spoke about highlights from Leeds games over the past few decades and major career moments. Staff also set up goals in the garden for residents to have a game of football with the players.

Sharon Oldfield, home manager at Vida Court, said: “We were thrilled to be able to host three Leeds United legends at our care home. Activities like this are so important for our residents and they had a fantastic time meeting Tony, Eddie and Paul and sharing a pie and pint with them.

“Wellbeing and life enrichment is crucial to the lives of our residents. This special day was all about reminiscence and nostalgia, and it brought back special memories for everyone in attendance. Events and visits like this are crucial for encouraging residents to remember moments in their lives, and building strong bonds with staff.”
