2024 Design Trends in Senior Living
Robotics in the Dining Room
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are revolutionizing the way healthcare settings operate and provide patient-centered care. These technological advancements have introduced an array of positive impacts, making healthcare more efficient, effective, and patient-centric.
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, there are 10.5 million unfilled jobs in the U.S.; disproportionately hitting leisure and hospitality businesses, healthcare and Senior Living; showing little indication of any significant improvement in 2024. This leaves countless healthcare and senior living facilities asking one vital question: How can we make our current staff more productive instead of needing to hire more? AI-enabled robotics in the dining room is one way to ease this pain point. For example, Servi Plus can help cover large service areas, busy shifts, running food, bussing dishes, and other repetitive, predictable, and time-consuming tasks.
Additionally, the inclusion of robotics can streamline the delivery of supplies and medications and enable smart room designs, where lighting, temperature, and even furniture can be adjusted to meet patient needs.
The ongoing advancements in AI and robotics continue to be a driving force behind the transformation of healthcare settings, ensuring that they are not only equipped with the latest technologies but also designed to provide the highest quality of care for all patients, especially in senior care locations, where personalized and efficient care is paramount.
