Stories

From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.

Residents really like them. For those who are able, it gives them something to talk about with staff and other residents and they go on about how beautiful they are, especially when they first go up. It warms up our hallways which are quite long and institutional.
– Megan O’Hara | Community Development Coordinator at Kings Way LifeCare Alliance in New Brunswick, Canada

Isn’t it great? I think it is funny, I like wacky stuff. The style is nice, the decals are so funny. Yeah, real old fashioned doors.
– Dhr. te Boekhorst | Resident at De Wever Woonzorgcentrum de Bijsterstede in Tilburg

For some of the residents, it’s easier now to recognise their own door. Some say it feels more like “home”. There are days when they say they are proud of their doors. They talk about about how pretty the doors are.
– | Nurse at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda

Everybody who walks past tells me it’s beautiful-I would say it is colossal
– Nancy Young | Resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia

My new door looks a lot like my former front door. I got married and raised my children in that house. Good memories! The front door was made of solid oak and we could open the upper part, which we did when we talked to our neighbours for example. It was a pity that we had to move out of that house.
– Mw. Louwen | Resident at Pieter van Foreest Weidevogelhof in Pijnacker

The residents and their family think the True Doors are nice and contribute to a cosy atmosphere.
