Stories

From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.

The blue colour of the door matches the blue of my flowers.
– Mw. Peppelman | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam

The residents recognize their front doors because of the True Doors. I think the doors contribute to a home-like atmosphere.
– | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen

I believe it gives both residents and their families a more warm and welcoming environment to come into and the True Doors give the residents comfort in knowing they are at home and the door is unique to them, rather than the generic facility door. Overall I think it is a wonderful addition.
– Simran Sandhu | Member of staff at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia

She chose this True Door because it reminds her of her a former front door. She finds it really beautiful and says it gives her a homely feeling. She mentions it every time we go into her room.
– E. van Turnhout | A family member of a resident at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda

The residents are happy with their doors. It looks more home-like and cosy now.
– | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam

I’ve got the feeling that some of our residents feel more at home, especially when they recognise their own front door. Also, family members like making photographs of their relative standing in front of their door.
– Melanie Holzken | Nurse at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
