Paramedics carry woman down stairs as retirement home lift broken

A woman had to be carried down three flights of stairs after she broke her arm because the lift in her retirement home was broken

The son of one resident has told the ECHO about how people living in Reynolds Court, in Woolton, were forced to come together to help the less mobile pensioners living in the complex when the one lift that serves the 60 apartments was left unfixed for six days. The son also revealed that he put in a formal complaint after he found out about the broken lift but is yet to receive an acknowledgement.

He said: "One woman fell and broke her arm, and when paramedics came they had to carry her down the stairs. She lives on the third floor. Since the lift broke people living there have had to rally around together in this situation.
