How personalising interiors improves the lives of people with dementia
Complimentary report with simple, yet powerful, ideas to help people with dementia, looking at 35 years of research findings from around the world.
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 homely 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.
The True Doors make Mercy Health more homely, they make a lot of difference - residents recognize doors and makes for good talking points.- Christine and Rod | Daughter and Husband of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
I think it's beautiful, it is like having your own front door. In the beginning, it was all white and that gives you the feeling of being in a hospital.. Now everyone likes his own front door the best.- Dhr. Kloppers | Resident at De Wever Woonzorgcentrum de Bijsterstede in Tilburg
There's more social interaction. And it's easier to connect a door to a resident now that all the doors are different.- Jessica Dik | A family member of a resident at Woonzorggroep Samen Noorderlicht in Hippolytushoef
The True Door looks like the old front door. It's easier to find the room now and there's more of a feeling of home.- E.M. Doornbos-Erkelens | A family member of a resident at Woonzorggroep Samen Noorderlicht in Hippolytushoef
It looks very nice! Also, it's easier to find my room now.- Willem | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
