Cleanliness is mission-critical in senior living communities—not just for health and safety, but to build trust with families, support compliance standards, and elevate the overall resident experience. Yet many communities still rely on manual cleaning processes that are difficult to standardize, track, and scale.

Robotic floor care solutions like Whiz by SoftBank Robotics and the Scrubber 50 Pro (S50 Pro) do more than clean. They deliver verifiable, autonomous performance backed by near-time data—what we call “proof of clean.” This modern approach ensures floors are cleaned consistently, thoroughly, and efficiently, with measurable outcomes that support your operational goals.

Common cleaning challenges in senior living communities

Limited visibility

Manual cleaning often lacks documentation, leaving building leaders unsure which areas were cleaned—and when. That uncertainty can become a liability during inspections or outbreaks.

Inconsistent results

Inconsistent staff availability and variability in cleaning methods can lead to gaps—especially in high-touch care environments like memory care and assisted living.

Healthcare staffing shortages

Labor-intensive tasks like vacuuming and scrubbing common area floors are often deprioritized in favor of resident room cleaning, leading to gaps in cleanliness—a challenge that robotic solutions are helping to address amid staffing shortages.

Verified performance with floor care robotics

Whiz and S50 Pro are autonomous robotic cleaning solutions that take a smarter approach to floor care. Whiz handles daily vacuuming with HEPA filtration, while S50 Pro tackles scrubbing with onboard water recycling for longer runtimes and more efficiency. Together, they offer an end-to-end solution for daily cleaning with trackable performance and free up staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

Near-time floor care cleaning metrics with SoftBank Robotics Connect

Both devices integrate with SoftBank Robotics Connect—an analytics dashboard that delivers on-demand performance metrics, including:

  • Coverage area (sq. ft. cleaned)
  • Cleaning frequency by zone
  • Route performance and missed runs
  • Autonomous runtime and battery usage
  • Assist logs and resolution speed

This level of visibility allows facility managers to confidently answer, “What got cleaned today, where, and when?”—with data to back it up.

Elevate confidence, boost compliance

Automated, time-stamped cleaning logs and proactive staff notifications help communities:

  • Prove compliance for infection control and regulatory surveys
  • Provide visible reassurance to families and prospects
  • Adjust protocols quickly in response to seasonal illness or outbreak
  • Recognize when a robot needs support to minimize cleaning lapses
  • Ensure equipment is being used consistently to maximize the value of their investment

This is more than a technological upgrade—it’s a proactive, confidence-building strategy with measurable savings.

Labor optimization and measurable ROI

Offloading repetitive cleaning to automation reduces strain on staff and drives efficiency. In one 120,000 sq. ft. community, implementing floor care automation saved 42 labor hours weekly—with no compromise to cleanliness.

Case studies: Proven results in robotic cleaning for senior living

Large assisted living campus

This multi-site community deployed both Whiz and S50 Pro to handle daily floor care:

  • 2X improvement in overall cleanliness
  • Enhanced audit readiness with documented cleaning logs
  • Boosted family satisfaction through visible use of robotic floor care

Memory care facility

Facing past challenges with compliance, this site turned to robotic automation:

  • Confirmed cleaning coverage in all required zones with daily digital logs
  • Cut staff floor care workload by 40%
  • Reclaimed staff time was redirected to higher-value tasks
