A center where people rejoice, laugh, dance, and forget about illnesses
A center where people rejoice, laugh, dance, and forget about illnesses It was truly a pleasure to spend time with the visitors and staff of the Bainbridge Center at the wonderful three-year celebration of the Health Day Care program located at 3093 Ocean Ave, 2nd floor, which houses both the medical program and the home care agency. Special thanks for the invitation go to renowned social worker and program director Raisa Ross, her wonderful colleagues, and Health Insurance Brokers representative Anna Entelnik. It was thanks to their dedicated work that the event became truly warm, heartfelt, and meaningful for Russian-speaking seniors. Raisa Ross is a licensed social worker and talented radio journalist, whose invaluable advice has been listened to with interest for many years. She always looks impeccable, remaining an example of vitality, wisdom, and generosity. People turn to her for advice in the most difficult life situations—and she truly helps, offering precise, knowledgeable, and heartfelt recommendations. On behalf of Senator Steve Chan, Senator Ari Kagan, General Counsel, congratulated the Bainbridge ADCC Health Care program and its participants, presented honorary certificates from the Senate to the caring and professional staff, and wished everyone good health and longevity. Certificates of appreciation were also presented by representatives from the offices of Mikhail Novakhov, Alec Brook-Krasny, City Council Member Inna Vernikova, and Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spantom. A special thank you goes out to distinguished guests Teresa Scavo and a representative of Health Insurance Brokers. This is a center where people truly forget about illness and learn to enjoy every day. A video about the center, published on YouTube by Canal Lagunova News, consistently receives thousands of views. And it's no wonder! The center attracts people of golden age, including centenarians. They sing, dance, and perform skits, as if on a theatrical stage. Laughter, music, and good company—all of this prolongs life and becomes an inspiration for everyone who crosses the threshold of the center. Amazing people meet here—those who once mentored generations of students, who set an example both professionally and personally. And now they create an atmosphere of genuine warmth, support, and joyful fellowship. The center's greatest achievement is its staff's ability to foster optimism, a desire for new knowledge, and a love of life in every visitor, which is especially important for those who have experienced difficult life experiences. It's no secret that children and grandchildren are often very busy, and the center's staff takes on a small part of their care, sometimes becoming true friends, almost like family. Bainbridge visitors feel part of a friendly, responsive, and family-like community. The center features a gym and exercise bike area, supported by the Department of Health. It's the only center with a gym equipped with modern exercise machines, treadmills, and arm and leg exercises—essential for older adults, many of whom suffer from arthritis. In an interview, one visitor offered some sage advice for my readers: "Don't sit idle—move, walk, dance. With life expectancy increasing, 100 will soon become the middle age." It is a pleasure to thank Susan Methal, Corporate Director, and the friendly, professional team: Elena Fitterman (community relations), Mikhail Britgolts (Program Manager), Natalia Bulakh, Zhanna Litvinskaya, Irina Pelekh and Olga Mardito SNA, Vasily Kolkhidashvili and other wonderful employees. Every day at the center is an example of how to live a vibrant and fulfilling life, imbuing it with meaning, creativity, and kindness. The staff does a tremendous, noble job, and it's no wonder people come here with joy. Here, they make new friends, learn to dance, study English, master computers, draw—and simply live a full, beautiful, and happy life. Marina Lagunova

When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
Lilia is a person of light. When I talked to her, I felt such warmth, some deep support. It was as if she carefully sorted out my feelings and helped me understand what to do next. And you know... my loved one really did come back. But perhaps most importantly, it's the inner peace I've found. I feel alive again. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I don’t know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what is most precious to me.
To be honest... I was in complete and utter shit back then. My wife left, slamming the door so hard that everything inside me collapsed. The apartment was empty, the silence was oppressive, I was pacing the room like a cornered wolf. I couldn't work, I sent my friends away, I hated myself. My life was going to hell. At some point, I realized: that's it, I can't handle it anymore. And I went to Matrona. Without hope, without any pretty words... just like a man who has no one else to turn to. I begged her like a man, please help... If there's even a chance to get her back, help. I was already at rock bottom. And, damn it, the last thing I expected happened. A couple of days later, my wife contacted me herself. Not with any show-offs, not with reproaches... she just said... Let's talk. I almost dropped the phone. She came home... And we talked so much that it seemed the walls were shaking: we broke down, screamed, were silent, cried. But damn, it was real. And most importantly... she stayed. The house came to life. I came to life. It was as if someone had shaken us both. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you Matrona for helping me not to lose what was most precious to me. I couldn't have done it without her. Here's her number: +38(063) 022 89 99 Viber/WhatsApp
I had previously contacted various fortune tellers, but to no avail. Only Daria really helped. She tells fortunes very well — without unnecessary questions, everything is clear and to the point. She said that my energy was blocked in my personal life, and explained why everything was falling apart. I was worried about my ex, I couldn’t forget and didn’t understand why he left. Daria said that he was “taken away” and performed a ritual to return. After some time, he wrote to me himself, started looking for meetings, admitted that he missed me. I honestly didn’t expect it. Daria also removed the negativity from me — it became easier to breathe, my sleep improved, the heaviness in my head went away. Before her, I always felt bad, as if I had no strength. She is simple, without show-offs, explains everything in understandable language. No intimidation or divorce. She works on WhatsApp — +1 (646) 377-9379. She responds quickly, is supportive, even just talking to her is nice. Thank you very much, Daria! You really helped me. I recommend you to everyone who is at a dead end and does not know where to go.
If someone had told me earlier that I'd turn to a clairvoyant, I would have laughed. But when my husband became cold, started working late, stopped talking to me, I felt like I was losing him. Lilya saw everything! She said there was negativity on him, that our family had been cursed. She cleansed him, gave him a talisman, and performed a ritual. Three days later (!) he himself said he wanted to mend things between us. It was as if a weight had been lifted from our souls. We bow deeply to you, Lilya!
