How Robotics Can Shape the Senior Care Industry

By Paige Cerulli

Rachel Blumberg, executive director of Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton, shares the multiple ways that Sinai Residences has implemented robotics in its daily operations.

“Wheelchair washers are just one example of the kind of tools that are streamlining operations and helping staff focus on their most important priority,” says Blumberg. She notes that the machine takes only five minutes to clean the chairs, while leaving staff with more time to spend with residents.

“Servi the Robot was deployed in Sinai dining rooms last year for a similar reason,” explains Blumberg. Servi is produced by Bear Technologies. The robots deliver food and drinks to the residents, and then carry dishes back and forth through the dining rooms. Blumberg says that the robots avoid spills and collisions, and they leave dining staff with more time to spend with the residents. “Plus, our residents think it is pretty cool to have a robot delivering food,” she says.
