A consistently high standard of cleanliness is a crucial element in creating indoor environments that are safe and healthy for senior residents, caretakers, and other staff. But maintaining cleaning quality that meets Standard Operating Procedures is challenged when operational hurdles — such as short staffing and inconsistent service quality — come into play. Additionally, when repetitive, tedious responsibilities occupy staff time, many senior communities see a direct impact on employee engagement, on-the-job injuries, and productivity at large. The sharp increase in incoming elderly residents over the next five to ten years adds to the challenges and is forecasted to tax senior living facilities beyond their current capabilities.
Combine all this with mounting demand to combat increasing operational costs, and retirement facility leaders must find a solution to their labor challenges that optimizes their current resources, encourages staff, and maximizes productivity — without stretching the budget.
Integrated assisted- and senior-living robotic solutions, such as Whiz and Scrubber 50 Pro, are the answer for senior-living management teams seeking new pathways to delivering a superior and more consistent cleaning experience. From vacuuming carpeted recreation rooms to scrubbing hard-floored common areas, our robotic solutions offload repetitive — yet essential — tasks so your cleaning and maintenance teams can prioritize deep-cleaning services and other higher value-based services. Our robots are a welcome attraction for residents, too!
In this case study, discover how our partnership with Core Facility Services eased cleaning demand challenges and improved cleaning operations by:
Assisted- and senior-living communities demand high-quality, consistent cleanliness to ensure that care workers, senior community members, and other staff are in a clean, healthy, and safe environment. Our commercial-grade solution enables more efficient operational task execution, thanks to our industry-leading AI capabilities that facilitate responsive navigation and always up-to-date performance. Updates to the robot’s operating system occur in the background to avoid interrupting service, providing continuous enhancements to performance over time.
Our robotic solutions are designed to work alongside senior-living staff with little to no oversight, helping you complete 100% of your tasks and satisfy cleaning standard operating procedures (SOPs). Your staff can dedicate their time to higher-value duties, such as deep cleaning and other custom services, while our service robotics cover repetitive, time-consuming tasks in the background.
Capture operations insights, track proof of cleaning, and accomplish standard operating procedures with near real-time, data-driven reporting. Our proprietary data and reporting platform, SoftBank Robotics Connect, is designed to integrate fully within your environment and capture performance gains, whether you monitor a single robot or are ready to upscale to an entire fleet of robots.
For additional exposure, our robots’ user-friendly design and responsive navigation allow them to run seamlessly during working hours, which provides visible proof of clean and bonus entertainment for your residents and their guests.
To help manage increasing operational expenses, improve resident occupancy, and execute cleaning services with a higher degree of confidence, SoftBank Robotics’ solutions come with guaranteed fixed costs for a defined period of time, which includes no-cost repairs. Compared to ever-increasing variable costs, our fixed expenses improve accuracy during budget planning and when anticipating resourcing needs.
Unlock the full productivity potential of your staff and optimize your cleaning operations — all while staying within budgetary restraints — with our leading solutions and white-glove service. We help our customers execute a successful robotic adoption program that offloads repetitive, dull, and occasionally dangerous responsibilities from their staff so they can instead direct their attention toward complementary, high-touch, value-based services like custom deep cleaning.
Residents and cleaning staff love seeing our robotic solutions. It differentiates your assisted- and senior-living facility, all while balancing innovative technology with improved worker retention and engagement.
With visible proof that your residents are in a clean, safe, and healthy environment, your community will benefit from an improved reputation and higher occupancy, ultimately delivering greater profitability for your business.
As part of the largest technology fund in the world, our depth of robotic experience, research, and knowledge leads the market with over 35,000 robotic solutions successfully deployed in service industries globally.
With white glove services, including onboarding, deployment, operations reviews, and a world-class on-call technical support structure, our market-leading integrated, robotic solutions can be adopted quickly and successfully in virtually any facility.
Industry standard-setting methodologies drive the adoption of collaborative robots and deliver proven business value, guaranteed (subject to requirements).
Your robots can do more than keep floors clean. By constantly gathering data about routes and runtime, they deliver insights that can simplify reporting, improve staff scheduling, and guide continual improvement. It’s all stored in the cloud and accessed in near real-time via our proprietary data and reporting platform, SoftBank Robotics Connect, to optimize productivity.
The SBR Connect dashboard is also your entry point to efficiently managing a broader robotics ecosystem. Team members can operate a fleet of robots across assisted and senior-living locations through a single cloud-based interface. From the SBR Connect dashboard, users can effectively manage their fleets, while managers can track ROI.
