Our interactive train carriage is one of Cherrybrook’s most unique and well-loved features. Thoughtfully designed to create the familiar feel of a classic railway journey, the space offers residents a calming and nostalgic environment where they can relax, reflect, or simply enjoy the gentle rhythm of the experience. It’s a special place where memories are often stirred and moments of peace and pleasure can be found.
Complete with seating, window views, and the authentic look and feel of a traditional train carriage, our interactive train experience provides a truly immersive environment. Residents can ‘take a journey’ without leaving the home, enjoying changing scenic displays, gentle background sounds and a familiar sense of movement. The space is designed to be fully accessible and can be used for quiet time, one-to-one support, or small group sessions. It’s especially popular with residents who find comfort in familiar routines or who enjoy a sense of travel and adventure.
The train experience offers more than just visual interest – it’s a powerful tool for reminiscence, particularly for those living with dementia or long-term mental health conditions. Sitting in the carriage can spark memories of holidays, family visits, or the simple routine of daily commuting, often opening up gentle conversations and moments of connection. It can also provide a structured and soothing environment for those who may feel unsettled, helping to reduce anxiety and promote calm.
The train experience is particularly beneficial for residents living with dementia. It provides a familiar setting that can trigger positive memories and support emotional wellbeing in a calm, non-clinical space.
The carriage is used for both quiet one-to-one moments and small group sessions. Whether it’s storytelling, music, or simply enjoying the view together, the space is flexible and inclusive.
we welcome families to join residents in the train carriage during visits. It’s a lovely way to share memories, sit together in a peaceful setting, or just enjoy something a little different during your time together.
