Field Reports from NHoF Phase I

Posted by Melissa Withers on October 31, 2008

When the Business Innovation Factory set out to create a real-world laboratory for developing and testing new solutions for improving elder care, we knew it would be challenging.

What we didn't know was how deeply personal and inspiring the process of building the Nursing Home of the Future laboratory would be. One of the most stunning components of this effort has been the intimacy and authenticity of the team’s interactions with the residents.

At the heart of the NHoF’s first phase of activity are the people at Tockwotton Home who opened up their lives to our team so that we can understand how to make the experience better for the next generation of residents, not just at Tockwotton Home but across the country.

Here is a sampling of field reports from individual team members that captures the experience of building the lab from the eyes of the on-the-ground team.
