Aged Care and Dementia Murals by Sharron Tancred

And our new Dementia Door Wraps- Additionally, to help you demonstrate your care to families, we’ve created a new library of Individual Dementia Resident Room Door Wraps. The Mural Shop has themed decor styles including our delightful Art Series featuring some wraps suitable for Exit Door Diversion.  Our Door Wraps help you to correctly theme and interactively individualise your hallways to vastly improve room wayfinding.

Design and functionality. Our custom designed hand-painted murals and a range of Built-in Art Assets can combine to help you solve environmental design issues. When mural artworks are psychological, they can inhibit resident behaviours, for example, urination on doors.  

We do everything for you. Artist and interior decorator Sharron Tancred holistically views your space. Most importantly, it is the combination of fun themes, memory cues and highly visible colours sourced from your decor that conceals your dementia exit doors more believably. Likewise, these tactics assist in resident wayfinding. 

Dementia exit door ideas. The most distressing zones are dementia exit doors. Concealing fire doors means that residents can no longer perceive them. 

Beware the bookcase door wraps!  We do not believe in bookcase door wraps!  It is dangerous to encourage dementia residents to stand in front of your constantly opening exit door, trying to pick out a book! Instead, we use science and psychology to create door disguise strategies tailored to your space.

 Tailored Artworks uses dementia-specific viseo-spatial research on colour, shape perception, luminescence and contrast to construct our murals and themed spaces. 

Queensland Health, Spiritus Aged Care, McKenzie Aged Care, Blue Care, BUPA, IRT Aged Care, RSL Care and Wesley Mission Aged Care and Seasons Aged Care.

The research provided to us by our Australian Aged Care clients ensures that we:  

• create believable and interactive spaces by using the existing architecture to define the scene
• tactfully encourage residents to move on rather than dither behind the doors
• place residents into meaningful scenes through painted barricades that suggest they can see there, but can’t go there
  • create relevance through cues to read and reminisce on cultural objects and pastime activities
  • engage with your market demographics, area and brand

    Our design phase includes-

• creating mood boards that present our interior decorating ideas
• the setting up a Trello Board for instant access to group communication, images, links and approvals
• online image research for the construction of accurate compositions
• the  positioning of our digital draft in your space to help you visualise the outcome
  
  The mural installation process includes-  

• an OHSC letter detailing all requirements
