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.
Lately, the vision of healthcare has changed in a way... It is wonderful, that such a simple thing, can change the whole environment. And that is what we hear from the people that are passing by.- Anja Meeuwesen | Care manager at De Wever Woonzorgcentrum de Bijsterstede in Tilburg
I think, first of all, True Doors built very good contact between us. Residents and employees have been involved in the process and talked together about the doors. That?s been very positive and helped us know each other better. Residents are very proud of the door they have chosen and like to talk about them. Aesthetically, they have created a warmer and less institutional environment.- Sylje Hansen | Nurse at Opsjø Omsorgsbolig in Norway
She feels more at home now and I can tell she is more comfortable. The ward looks much nicer. Also, I like that residents are able to take something from their past with them.- | A family member of a resident at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
It looks very nice! Also, it's easier to find my room now.- Willem | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
This door was the most beautiful, I think. That's why I chose it. The ward looks much nicer now!- Mw. R Driessen | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
The films arrived, the quality is really good & the grannies loves them.- Nadine Ferron | Nurse at HPPA Mersch in Luxembourg
