Using the walk-through in nursing homes

NIATx is participating in a collaborative research program to help older people live independently and stay in their homes.

Named the Active Aging Research Center, this program is funded through a grant from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), whose mission is to improve health care for all Americans.

Key NIATx tools like the walk-through will play an important role in this program. I found the following 2-minute video an interesting example of how one man is using the walk-through to help him design better nursing homes.
