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.

From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.
The True Doors make it easier to recognize their own front door. I can tell the residents feel more at home now.- Petra Kamps | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
Love mums new door - the wing looks welcoming and no longer gives feeling that family are walking into an institution.- Chris Stacey | Son of resident at Acacia Living Group in Western Australia
I can tell some residents recognize their own front door. They often say: "This is my front door." Sometimes they visit each other and some of them now lock their door.- Mandy van Broekhoven | Nurse at Laverhof Het Retraitehuis in Uden
A more homely feeling with True Doors.- Alan McDonald | Husband of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
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
The True Doors made it easier to tell the residents where their rooms are. Choosing the doors brings back memories, which increases the feeling of privacy. My home, my front door.
