I took a course of "rehabilitation" in this center from July 14 to August 1.2018. as part of the Moscow group of disabled people who received social. tickets to this institution. The group consisted of disabled people with cerebral palsy and spinal injuries aged 7 to 30 years.
"Evolution" positions itself as the most modern rehabilitation center (and part-time - a sports base where Paralympic athletes train), which provides EVERYTHING for a particular stay of wheelchair users. In fact, to the most modern of this institution - like me to the Chinese border on all fours. Ordinary, to a greater or lesser extent, "killed" and shabby, building buildings from Soviet times, steep (in the literal sense of the word, of course) ramps, along which, in order to climb in a wheelchair, you either need to hold it firmly (otherwise a fall is inevitable) , or have an accompanying Hercules with you (and after all, most disabled people (if we are NOT talking about Paralympic athletes) come there accompanied by their mothers - fragile women do not at all differ in remarkable physical strength).
The embankment adjacent to the territory is "killed" completely! Consisting of continuous potholes and gullies, it is absolutely unsuitable for people in wheelchairs to move along it. They are not even going to do anything about it. Well, at least the beach is adapted for wheelchair users - a convenient exit to the sea, special. a stroller, on which you can drive right into the water, a shower - everything is convenient. And as they say, thank you. However, it is somehow illogical to bring to mind one thing (in this case, the beach), spitting on the rest.

The procedures offered to those undergoing rehabilitation in the "Evolution" can only be described in one word. Slang. Do you know how young people speak in funny situations? — neighing. That's it "laughing" perfectly describes all the procedures. The way they are performed is more typical for some sanatorium of the Khrushchev era, but not for the "most modern" medical institution, where people with incurable diagnoses or serious injuries are admitted. (And those - really modern in all respects - rehabilitation centers exist, and I have something to compare with).
Massage (at least in the performance of a painted blonde with a clearly oriental appearance) is a sluggish stroking of certain parts of the body. The girl works in "Evolution" for the second year. During this time, probably many patients with cerebral palsy and people with injuries "passed" through her hands. If she thinks a limp stroke is enough for these people, that's just ridiculous. You have to WORK with them! And they can stroke us under other circumstances ; -)
Both normal instructors work in the pool (again, they understand that we need to work with us), and completely inert "sweet" boys, who are afraid to overwork inadvertently. The only question is who you will get to... By the way, when going from the shower room directly to the pool, there are several ramps. Hellishly cool. And the only way to get into the water is by a ladder, the steps of which go one after another. In truth, not all people with disabilities can do this. It would be logical to install something like an electric lift (at least one), but there is not one there... Although even in "ordinary" pools. they are usually installed.
. . . As there are none in the rooms where various baths are given to patients. The procedure is called "baths", not "hydromassage", but the baths there are hydromassage. Well, you know, yes, what is it? - a tall, huge bathtub. When I was prescribed this procedure, they asked if I could climb into the bath on my own. And in response to my clear “No”, they assured: “There are lifts there! ”. Actually, only one of the many booths has it, but it seems to be non-working. There is no one to help get into the bath. I (a 26-year-old, for a moment, a girl, and not a small and relatively light child) was dragged there by my mother every day. I weigh a little, but an adult still does not differ in the inherent lightness of children with disabilities (they are usually thin, like reeds).

Exercise therapy... I was more or less lucky with the instructor. A young girl listened to me attentively and took into account all my features, wishes, patiently explained if something was not clear. But nearby (in the same hall) another girl-instructor worked. She worked with a small (7-8 years old) boy, apparently with a slight mental retardation. So, she literally yelled at this child. If it was an absolutely adequate child who is just being lazy or indulging, then the instructor's annoyance can be understood (after all, she probably has more than one such boy in her entire working day). But yelling at a child who obviously does not quite understand what they want from him at all (and / or has a retarded reaction)... To put it mildly, it is not normal. Yes, she also complained: "It's a pity that you can't beat children here. "
The food in the "Evolution" is designed for anyone, but definitely not for Paralympic athletes and not for the guys who come there to a sports camp)) Not a single athlete will last long on such food)) Almost all dishes are tasteless, in a salad they can easily combine fresh tomatoes with pickles (all this gives juice, as a result, the ingredients float in the liquid for several hours). Flies fly around the room in flocks (to poison insects? no, haven’t heard), sit on plates and on food. Moreover, when the food (especially this "rule" applies to morning cereals) is more or less decent, the portions are small, and when the dish is absolutely impossible to eat, the plates are filled almost over the edge. It was very funny to watch how in the summer (and this, I remind you, the "fruit" season"), bananas (! ) And apples (! ) (which, for a moment, can be found on the shelves at any time of the year) were given out as an afternoon snack. I don’t it is believed that in the Crimea, rich in fruits and vegetables, it is so difficult to buy something more seasonal to "feed" vacationers).
We lived in the "Rehabilitation" building. By the time the next group arrives, the rooms don't seem to be cleaned at all. Dirty floor and bathroom, a layer of dust on the furniture. The maids needed to be reminded to change the towels. Bed linen looked dirty and untidy even after being replaced.
In general, draw conclusions whether it is worth undergoing rehabilitation in this place. I draw the attention of Muscovites to the fact that the Moscow organization that sends disabled people there, although it assures that it carefully selects groups (so that everyone is about the same age, approximately equal to each other in intelligence), in reality it does not. In one group there may be children of kindergarten age, teenagers and young people with disabilities (30+); people with absolutely preserved intelligence (in the minority) and completely inadequate (in the vast majority).

Everyone - health and less disappointment from treatment)
