Local Care Home Makes Resident’s Dream Come True

Resident, David at South Grange Care Home had always wanted to see his two favourite football teams play against each other, so staff at the home made his wish a reality proving the old adage, it’s never too late.

Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making David’s dream come true when it was announced that Rangers v Manchester United were playing at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh as they knew how much it meant to him and they all wanted to be there to see the smile on David’s face when his dream was realised.

Staff first found out about David’s dream several years ago and, ever since then, they have been dedicated to helping him achieve it. David was also accompanied by nurse, Nicole who was there to witness this momentous occasion.

In response to this wonderful surprise, David said:
“I was on the verge of tears. It is such an amazing feeling to know that such a loving group of people care so much about me that they helped me to live out a dream – and I didn’t even ask.”

Catherine Lappin, General Manager at the home, said:
“We believe that every moment is worth cherishing. We want everyone we care for to know how important they are to us here at South Grange. It is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in making our residents’ dreams come true. It was wonderful to see how happy David was – and the staff loved being a part of this as well.”
