Unforeseen situation at healthcare facility in Zwijndrecht solved with temporary passenger lift
Healthcare facility Het Anker in Zwijndrecht is a place for elderly people who can no longer live independently. It is divided into a nursing home and a care home department. Day and night, the nurses are ready to support the elderly with the care they need. Although the residents still live as independently as possible, a lift is necessary for some of them. Since the lift at the residential care centre needed replacing, a temporary lift was needed. Reco Lift Solutions arrived on site and offered a suitable solution.
The lift at Het Anker was due for replacement after years of use. The fact that replacing the lift would only take a relatively short time and that the residents could do without the lift for a while proved to be a little premature. Besides the residents of Het Anker, a whole range of other organisations also use the lift, something which had not been taken into account.
The son of one of the residents raised the alarm with the building owner because of this. In consultation with the elevator advisor, it became clear that the situation would indeed cause problems for the residents and other elevator users. Therefore, the owner of Het Anker chose to rent a temporary elevator from Reco Lift Solutions. The attentive son was very pleased with the solution: 'At the time of writing this email, I am in the elevator... my compliments. It looks neat! Once in the elevator, you feel like you're in a regular one.
