The elevator is the beating heart of Sue Ryder. For decades, it has been used by caregivers, nurses, and especially clients who cannot get around without wheels. It has taken them to the garden to see the sun, to group memory training, to rehab and to chapel prayers. It remembers war veterans, St. Nicholas Day parades and family visits. It drove both feline and canine therapists. It brought doctors and paramedics. The elevator at Sue Ryder has been resuscitated several times, and the verdict is clear.
"I shot the video about the elevator at Sue Ryder and I think we should have shot it 2 years earlier. Gradually all the performers got stuck in, including the clients."
"I take the elevator to memory training, to the doctor, to singing and also to the garden. And it also carries a joy - a therapy dog Yumi."
