Stories
From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.
…Yes! It is quite similar to the front door of the house where I used to live when I was a child… I think I was about seven years old.– Dhr. van Meersbergen | Resident at De Wever Woonzorgcentrum de Bijsterstede in Tilburg
For some residents it’s now easier to find their room. They are very happy with the True Doors and you can tell they are proud of them. Family and friends are also really positive.– | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
The doors look fabulous and make it look more homely. Love them and this was a great idea.– Michelle Ingram | Daughter of a resident at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
She feels more at home now and I can tell she is more comfortable. The ward looks much nicer. Also, I like that residents are able to take something from their past with them.– | A family member of a resident at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
My father’s memory is ok, so the True Door didn’t have a big impact on his orientation. But I have to admit the hallway looks really cozy and personal!– R. Stevens | A family member of a resident at Topaz Overryhn in Leiden
Residents walk around to look at each other’s door and to give their opinion. For them it’s important to show they are still able to critize.– Simone Bos | Nurse at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
