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.
She chose her former front door. She lived behind that door more than 30 years!- Marjan Hermens | A family member of a resident at Archipel Zorggroep Passaat in Eindhoven
It's a beautiful and light coloured door. It looks nice; it really gives something extra to my room.- Margreeth Grevelt | Resident at HVO Querido in Amsterdam
My father lived behind that door for 40 years. He hasn't got dementia, but he is really happy to have his old door. He thinks his door is beautiful.- S. v.d. Haar Punter | A family member of a resident at Hof en Heim Zorgcentrum Suderigge in Lemmer
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
Love mums new door - the wing looks welcoming and no longer gives feeling that family are walking into an institution.- Chris Stacey | Son of resident at Acacia Living Group in Western Australia
Family and friends of the residents think the doors are wonderful. Residents really feel at home now.- | Nurse at De Waalboog Verpleeghuis Joachim en Anna in Nijmegen
