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've noticed through speaking with the residents that their is a sense of pride in their door and thier room now. "This is my door". " This is my room" "Isn't it lovely.' "Aren't I lucky".- Penny West | Member of staff 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
