The Story Behind Lilian’s Room
Lilian’s Room exists thanks to the generosity of a local resident named Lilian, who kindly left a legacy gift to Wave Active.
In her later years, Lilian lived in a nearby care home and regularly took part in our Wave Active Health outreach sessions. She embraced these visits with enthusiasm and joy, and it was clear that staying active meant a great deal to her. To honour her warmth and positivity, we have used her legacy to create a dedicated facility that will support active ageing, rehabilitation, and those living with illness or long-term health conditions.
“Lilian was a warm and cheerful lady who enjoyed the simple pleasure of daily life. She was often described as calm, happy and appreciative, leaving behind a gentle and positive presence that those around her will always remember.”
Thank you, Lilian
What is Lilian’s Room?
Lilian’s Room features a suite of assisted, accessible equipment that supports controlled movement and inclusive training. This low-impact exercise is a brilliant form of gentle exercise, especially if you’re recovering from injury, illness or surgery, returning to activity after a period of inactivity, or looking for a simple way to improve overall fitness.
Lilian’s Room also incorporates specialist neuro-rehab equipment including “Stroll”, a revolutionary all-in-one digital therapeutic software solution which uses augmented reality (AR) glasses to support mobility, balance, cognitive engagement and functional rehabilitation.
Together, these tools, along with other equipment form Lilian’s Room, an inclusive space designed to support older adults and people living with long-term health conditions through safe, adaptive exercise and meaningful social connection.
What sort of equipment is in Lilian’s Room?
Lilian’s room is home to a range of equipment, which, as a circuit, will provide a full body workout in 30-40 minutes.
Stroll
Lilian’s Room also includes Stroll, a user-friendly technology focused on what matters most to you: safer mobility, enhanced daily functioning, and the comfort of rehabilitating at your own pace. Designed to improve walking, balance, and reduce fall-risk, users from existing case studies report greater confidence in daily activities, more independence and a better quality of life for longer.
The Wave Active Health team will be on hand to assist members to use the equipment correctly and get the most out of their time in Lilian’s room.
