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.
The ward more personal now, less like a hospital. People are proud of their doors.- Angelique van Wieringen | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
My father lived behind that door for 40 years. He hasn't got dementia, but he is really happy to have his old door. He thinks his door is beautiful.- S. v.d. Haar Punter | A family member of a resident at Hof en Heim Zorgcentrum Suderigge in Lemmer
I chose this door because I would like to live on Mars and the blue color made me think of that. I'm happy with the result and I'm glad it's a sticker so I didn't need a whole new door.- Amina | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
I have never seen these doors before, but they are beautiful. They look so real!- Nancy McNeill | Daughter of a resident at Nashwaak Villa in New Brunswick, Canada
The True Doors give residents more privacy and freedom. Nobody comes in, when their doors are closed. It seems like the residents feel more at ease. It's their home; it's part of who they are.- D. Arnoldus | Nurse at Topaz Overryhn in Leiden
I can tell people are proud of their doors. They often chose a door that fit their personality. Also, the ward looks so much nicer now!- Jorien Koch | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
