To make sure the future centre is genuinely convenient, the people who will use it came to the site. The inspection involved Valentyn Oleksiienko, head of VeteranPRO, Vitalii Pcholkin, head of the Active Rehabilitation Group NGO, and Ivan Dobrovolskyi, deputy head of the regional administration, together with the contractors.

The inspection was reported by Bucha City Council.

What exactly was measured

The specialists went through the gradient of the ramps, the width of doorways, the special fitting of the toilets, the presence of handrails and tactile elements, and the safety of the rehabilitation gym.

These are the things that look like details on a drawing but in practice decide whether a wheelchair user can get inside unaided — without help and without having to ask.

Why the check comes before the work is finished

The inspection was carried out during construction rather than after it. Correcting a ramp gradient or a doorway width before handover costs many times less than reworking a finished building.

The city council stressed that the main reference point is the experience and expert opinion of veterans themselves, because a barrier-free environment is built for specific people, not for a tick in a report.
