Careline raises alarm after people stuck in lift

THE Careline organisation showed what it can do yesterday (Sunday, January 26, 2014) when it helped to rescue four people who were stuck in a lift in Yeovil.

It was just after 3pm when Careline requested the support of the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service following reports that people were stuck at Wyndham Court in Newton Road.

Two fire engines from Yeovil were mobilised and it was not long before officers had rescued the four people uninjured.

Careline provides help and support for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With Careline you know that help is there for you or a family member whenever you or they need it.

Through this peace of mind elderly people can actually enjoy the independence of living in their own home, secure in the knowledge that emergency help or advice is available at the push of a button, without the need to get to the phone.

All people have to do is wear a personal Careline alarm as a pendant or a wristband. They can then just press the red button and they are put through to one of Careline’s operators within seconds.
