AbstractA decal of a street door of a former home (a so called true door) can trigger pleasant memories of former independent life in adults suffering from dementia or certain psychiatric problems. This way true doors could support the feeling of being at home in the nursing home. First evaluation results of the true doors look promising with positive effects on both residents and staff.Keywords: dementia, true doors, feeling at home, reminiscence, orientation
