Martin Lilleker worked as the music journalist for the Star and Telegraph newspapers in Sheffield for many years. His books document the history of Sheffield music from the 1960s to the mid 1980s. Martin was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at the young age of 57 and after several years living at home, needed the support and expertise of staff at Woodland View Nursing Home to maintain his quality of life.
