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.
Visitors really appreciate the True Doors. They are very positive about it!- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
We now have True Doors in our dementia ward and also in our day care area. The doors really add something special to our care facility. Not only do they help our residents with dementia with their orientation, the doors also look great.- Matthias Ostermann | Location Manager at Seniorenresidenz Kinzigtal in Germany
The residents are happy with their doors. It looks more home-like and cosy now.- | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
I really like my True Door, I think it's the best!- Mieneke Scherrenberg | Resident at Amerpoort in Vinkeveen
Some residents recognize their own door. One man started complaining about this door, because he thought it needed some new paint. A conversation started, because the resident used to be a painter when he was young. I also think the hallways look way nicer now!- Karin Ruitenburg | Nurse at Woonzorggroep Samen Noorderlicht in Hippolytushoef
There are many positive reactions. Residents often mention the True Doors and they point at them. The ward looks less like a hospital. It looks beautiful and cosy and it's more like a home. That's why it feels like a safe place to be.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
