Anyone can make products. What sets Nurture apart is a core belief in using research-based insights to solve real problems. Our ethnographic researchers go into top Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and facilities around the country, seeing the everyday in new ways. We talk to doctors, nurses, administrators, architects, designers and others who have something to say about making spaces work better. We note how caregivers perform their duties. And we study how patients receive their care. Resisting preconceived answers, we ask why—and why not? Only after a true understanding of the challenges do we go back and work toward solutions to help create optimal healing environments.
It’s time to take a new look at healthcare. And, the spaces within it. At Nurture by Steelcase we look at healthcare environments and see the potential for transforming them to make lives better for patients, care givers and care partners. We imagine spaces that are more productive and comfortable. Less chaotic and stressful. We believe spaces can inspire. Provide hope. And in an ideal world, promote healing. Hence the name Nurture. A collaborative partnership whose vision is to provide user-centered solutions that improve healthcare for everyone. By challenging conventions. Building on what works already. And using research (and a healthy dose of common sense) to let good ideas flourish.
Let’s Work Together.
Collaboration. A means to a smarter end. We’re committed to working with patients, partners in care, architects and designers, administrators and others who have something to say about improving healthcare environments. By focusing on user experience, we can create inspired solutions that protect privacy, reduce chaos and remove obstacles.

Healthcare and senior living facilities present some of the industry’s most demanding challenges for flooring. Rooms require an economical solution that can be changed often, while flooring for public spaces and eating areas must have maximum stain protection and the longest possible lifecycle. An effective moisture barrier and easy clean-up are imperative – and the flooring must look warm and inviting. The Mohawk Group has a long history of successfully meeting these challenges.
