However, there is a gap in how social innovation practices may contribute to this. The theoretical discourse for the study is person-centered care.Aim: The main aim was to explore phenomena within social innovation that can contribute to improving nursing home residents’ everyday lives.Design and Method: This study uses an ethnographic design with observations and interviews in two nursing homes in Southern Norway.Findings: The main theme was that social innovation within working practices in nursing homes includes phenomena that contribute to a meaningful everyday life for the residents. This main theme includes five subthemes: (1) opening the nursing home to the surroundings; (2) expanding and strengthening the community of practice; (3) facilitating customized activities; (4) ensuring sufficient nutrition and facilitating enjoyable mealtimes; and (5) preventing unrest and disturbing behavior.Conclusion: The study reveals that innovation practices grounded in person-centered care in nursing homes may contribute to opening the nursing home to the community and establishing a common community practice for all members of the nursing home. This enables residents to experience meaningful everyday life through customized activities, sufficient nutrition, and a pleasant milieu during mealtimes. Disturbing behavior is also prevented, making it possible to promote meaningful lives in nursing homes.Åshild SlettebøRagnhild SkaarKari BrodtkorbFrontiers Media S.A.articlenursingcommunity of practiceculture changenursing homesqualitative methodPsychologyBF1-990ENFrontiers in Psychology, Vol 12 (2021)
