"Despite a ramp being available, staff presumed Ms Landre didn't want one"

How is that just one throwaway sentence under one of the images and not explained in any more detail. What does that mean? How available? Why did they assume she wouldn't want it? Does she know a ramp was available?

Especially odd to mention the availability of a ramp under a picture of her motioning to stairs.
