A True Doors transformation
True Doors decals stimulate the wellbeing of seniors and people with special needs living in care facilities, improving quality of life and contributing to person-centered care.
People recognise and find their own doors. Reminiscence and social interaction is stimulated. Facilities feel more like homes. Residents' identities are brought to the fore.
