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 give the hallways a nice atmosphere. Because the residents had the opportunity to make their own decision, it gave them the feeling of creating their own living space. Also, they recognize their room now.- | Nurse at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
A resident was so happy with his True Door that he kept on saying "This is my door!". Another resident has a name tag on his door. He loves it and keeps on pointing to the tag.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
The door is easier to recognize now. This helps the residents with orientation. I also think this increases the feeling of "home".- | A family member of a resident at Zorggroep Sint Maarten Gerardus Majella in Denekamp
The doors are creating opportunities to talk with other families about their doors and the stories behind the doors. the doors are all so beautiful - it's magic- you've done a wonderful job!- Margaret Wilson | Wife of resident at Mercy Health Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged in Victoria, Australia
Two residents on the community ward were talking about how their own doors look. Also I've seenother other residents sometimes stand next to a door and start talking about it.- Wiegertje Lageveen | Nurse at Hof en Heim Zorgcentrum Suderigge in Lemmer
They are colourful and alive , creative and engaging. The True Door helps mum identify her room. It feels more homely and adds a lot more interest- takes away the "sanitation" of aged care. Everyone I show who sees the doors thinks they are marvelous.- Rose Spinks | Daughter of resident at Mercy Health in Victoria, Australia
