Hélder, R.,

"I have been part of the Vida Maior team since its inception—first as a psychomotricity specialist, now as the technical director at the Maceira ERPI. From the start, I identified with the company’s values and mission, which not only delivers excellent geriatric services but also allows staff to develop both professionally and personally."

Francisco Isidoro,

"Vida Maior is more than a job; it is a mission of care and dedication.
Every day is an opportunity to provide well-being in a warm, family-like environment.
At Vida Maior, we contribute to making old age a dignified and happy phase of life."

Carla Oliveira,
General Manager
Vida Maior Oeste

"I was one of the aides who witnessed the inauguration of Vida Maior. The word I would use to describe what I believed every elderly person deserved upon entering this home was—and still is—DIGNITY. It’s not just about 'food, a bed, and clean clothes.' It’s about being part of their lives every day, offering attention, affection, a kind word, a smile."

Alice João,
Geriatric Agent
Vida Maior Maceira

"Working at Vida Maior is about concern and care for others. For me, it is the culmination of years of experience and training that contribute to the well-being of our clients, with empathy and passion for what I do."

"Working for Vida Maior has been an experience that touches my heart every day. Being around the elderly teaches me to value the little things in life and to see the world with greater empathy and patience. Every look, conversation, or act of care is an opportunity to reciprocate the affection and wisdom they carry."

Rebeca Silva,

"I just want to say thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity in Vida Maior Maceira. That's my first experience that kind job, so I'm gaining some new things in my life by that I'm so grateful. Also, by your open arms welcomed. And I'm delighted to be here, thank you.
