Lift Breakdowns Trap Aging Residents | Liverpool News

A 73-year-old resident of Christopher Taylor House, a building for seniors over 55, is sounding the alarm after years of unreliable lifts that have trapped him and his neighbors in their homes. Since 2011, he’s relied on a walking frame and has endured repeated breakdowns — including nine days without the main lift — only to have the stairlift fail the same day it was fixed. Frustrated by quick, temporary fixes from the lift company Rubax, he demands a full, professional repair to restore safety and mobility. While he praises the on-site staff, he laments declining service quality and fears for neighbors with greater mobility needs. Plus Dane Housing apologized, saying repairs are complete and a replacement part installed, but the resident remains skeptical — calling for lasting, thorough solutions to turn his home from a prison back into a place where he can truly live freely.
