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.
I do believe the residents feel more at home. They feel like they have their own door now. The first couple of days, they often told us how lovely they think it is.- Ilona vd Meeren | Nurse at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
I can tell my mother feels happier and safer since she received a True Door. She really likes it and thinks it perfectly fits her personality.- P. vd Zanden | A family member of a resident at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
Definitely makes the room feel more “hers” and gives her a reminder of all the people she has created.- Lee Donovon | Grand-daughter of a resident at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
Residents now know which room is theirs. In the evenings they say: "I'm home, I'm going to sleep now!" There's less agitation. Family members are also very excited about the doors.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
I really like the doors. It personalizes the resident's home. I find there is less confusion with rooms, fewer people walking into the wrong rooms.- Member of staff | at Bedford Campus, Northwood in Nova Scotia, Canada
The True Door looks like the old front door. It's easier to find the room now and there's more of a feeling of home.- E.M. Doornbos-Erkelens | A family member of a resident at Woonzorggroep Samen Noorderlicht in Hippolytushoef
