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.
A resident told me a story about how her door reminded her of the times her husband went fishing in the past on the Nashwaak River. She used to look out of the car window while her husband was fishing and this is the image she imagines when she looks at the door. I have noticed a huge positive effect with the True Doors.- Amy Sandant Vibert | Nursing Staff at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
Some residents recognise their own door and finds it easier to orient. I think the True Doors lift up the atmosphere and are highly appreciated.- H. Ebbing | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
Since installation of the True Doors, I knock on the door before I enter a resident's room. I also feel like ringing the door bell first.- C. Dominicus | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
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
The films arrived, the quality is really good & the grannies loves them.- Nadine Ferron | Nurse at HPPA Mersch in Luxembourg
I can tell people are proud of their doors. They often chose a door that fit their personality. Also, the ward looks so much nicer now!- Jorien Koch | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
