We didn't invent doors. We just decided that they matter. True Doors ® decals help improve the lives of people with dementia.
Improve
True Doors ® decals are person centred care solutions to improve quality of life for elders with dementia, while also transforming cold institutional spaces into warm and familiar homelike environments.
Transform
Residents' identities are brought to the fore. Reminiscence and social interaction is stimulated. People recognise and find their own doors. Privacy and sense of safety increases. Facilities feel more like homes.
Create
Save your favourites to create our own catalogue from the largest collection of door decals in the world. Quality photos of actual doors, made-to-measure and applied on flat door surfaces.
Stories
From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.
To add to the feeling of "home", the staff and residents as well as families have all reacted very positively.- Christine Curnow | Member of staff at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
I don't know the effect of the doors yet, but I can imagine it's easier for residents to find their homes now. It does look much cosier now, very home-like!- Anne | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
I have noticed how pleasurable and refreshing and homely feeling the True Doors have made residents and staff experience I personally felt very thrilled and my breath taken away - a very postivie experience.- Lyn Walhe | Member of staff at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
I think it's lovely and I don't think I'll see another one like it for a while!- Maggie | Resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
I think, first of all, True Doors built very good contact between us. Residents and employees have been involved in the process and talked together about the doors. That?s been very positive and helped us know each other better. Residents are very proud of the door they have chosen and like to talk about them. Aesthetically, they have created a warmer and less institutional environment.- Sylje Hansen | Nurse at Opsjø Omsorgsbolig in Norway
Visitors really appreciate the True Doors. They are very positive about it!- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
