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 feel the doors take the clinical look and feel away from the facility, it certainly creates a more homely aspect. I thoroughly enjoy walking past them.- Susan Fitzpatrick | Daughter of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
Brightens the hallways and gives a more home-like feeling. Very pleased with the result.- | Daughter of a resident at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
Residents find it easier to find their room. They also think the True Doors are beautiful.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
He now has our own front door back. The door brings back memories, he often talks about the past.- J. Beukema | A family member of a resident at Woonzorggroep Samen Noorderlicht in Hippolytushoef
More homely, make a big difference. Good for talking about.- Chris Varley | Son of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
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
