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.

From nursing staff, family members and people with dementia.

The residents and their family think the True Doors are nice and contribute to a cosy atmosphere.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
For my father, having his own space is very important. Other residents are not allowed in his room. He is very happy with his own well-being True Door. I think that's because it feels more like a real home.- Joke Velthuijzen | A family member of a resident at Topaz Overryhn in Leiden
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
I can tell my father feels more comfortable now that the environment looks less like a hospital. He is very proud of his door and he likes that it's blue, his favourite colour. He loves showing his door to visitors and he's happy when people say something nice about his door.- Petra vd Star | A family member of a resident at Stichting Elisabeth in Breda
