A spokesperson said three people were released from the lift, and an engineer was requested to attend.
The fire service were then called again at 2.54pm with another report of a person stuck in the lift at the retirement complex.
A spokesperson said one person was released from the lift 20 minutes later after fire crews again called a lift engineer.
