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.
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
The dark blue True Door creates a beautiful passageway to my mother's room. It looks great I think!- Corne Balemans | A family member of a resident at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
Fantastic!- Clarissa Garland | Member of staff at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
By choosing their own True Door, we learnt more about the resident’s past and ‘who they are’. There’s a home-like atmosphere now and a more individualistic character.- Christel de Groote | Occupational Therapist at OCMW Gent, WZC Het Heiveld in Gent, Belgium
It is priceless hearing the residents talk about their doors, the memories they talk about...- Patricia Bishop | Daughter of a resident at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
My father's memory is ok, so the True Door didn't have a big impact on his orientation. But I have to admit the hallway looks really cozy and personal!- R. Stevens | A family member of a resident at Topaz Overryhn in Leiden
