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 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
It's just a whole different atmosphere. People seem to be more chatty and everyone loves the doors. And it's opened up conversations that we have never even thought of before... It's just a wonderful thing... They're breathtaking.- Melody O'neill | Director of Care at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
Can’t believe how efficient our doors were being sent. I received an email late one week & they arrived within the next week. 2 days before the nominated date. The joke here was, I could get things from Amsterdam quicker than I can from Adelaide. As it has been a busy time, our first door only went up yesterday. Yah for us. Everyone has made positive comments and the room occupant loves it. The decals are truly a wonderful product and the quality is outstanding.- Sharon Rothe | Leisure Lifestyle Coordinator at ‘Charla Lodge Aged Care’ Bordertown Hospital, SA Health, Government of South Australia in South Australia
We now have True Doors in our dementia ward and also in our day care area. The doors really add something special to our care facility. Not only do they help our residents with dementia with their orientation, the doors also look great.- Matthias Ostermann | Location Manager at Seniorenresidenz Kinzigtal in Germany
Mum can find her door but I'm not sure she recognizes it as my door - they add more interest- Lachie Koch | Son of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
My aunt really likes her True Door. It reminds her of her old front door. When I visit her, it feels like I'm entering her house on ... street. It's a good memory. My aunt and I like talking about the past.- Elly Stuivenberg | A family member of a resident at Zorggroep Charim D'n Aok in Veendendaal
