Goodman Group
Consistent nightly coverage at ≤64 dB(A) — quiet enough for sleeping residents.
What Goodman Group Was Facing
- Resident comfort is non-negotiable — any cleaning equipment must be quiet enough for nighttime operation near sleeping residents
- State licensing audits require documented proof of consistent cleaning schedules and coverage
- Custodial staff retention crisis — high turnover rates make reliable coverage difficult to maintain
- Common areas, dining halls, and corridors need daily cleaning but staffing budgets are constrained
- Physical demands of manual floor scrubbing contribute to staff injury and burnout
How We Solved It
CenoBots L3 handles standard-size senior living communities while L4 units cover larger facilities with expansive dining halls and activity spaces. Both operate at ≤64 dB(A) — compatible with nighttime resident rest.
- L3 deployed for standard communities — corridors, common areas, and dining rooms
- L4 units handle larger facilities with multiple dining halls and activity centers
- ≤64 dB(A) operation is compatible with nighttime rest — no resident complaints
- Consistent nightly coverage builds trust with residents, families, and staff
- Automated session logs provide documentation for state licensing audits

Deployment Notes
- Deployed across multiple Goodman Group senior living communities in Minnesota
- L3 for communities under 40,000 sq ft; L4 for larger facilities
- Nightly autonomous operation — robots run after residents retire for the evening
- Coverage includes common areas, dining halls, corridors, and activity rooms
- Remote monitoring via fleet management software — staff can check status without physical inspection
Operations Summary
Deployment operations report: Autonomous floor scrubbing now covers all common-area hard floors nightly across multiple Goodman Group communities. Resident feedback has been positive — the quiet operation is consistently noted as a non-issue. Custodial staff report reduced physical strain and improved morale from elimination of repetitive manual scrubbing. Licensing audit documentation is now generated automatically from robot session data.
Senior living is a massive and growing market segment. A proven deployment at Goodman Group — one of Minnesota's established senior living operators — demonstrates that autonomous cleaning is viable in the most noise-sensitive, compliance-heavy environments. Ecumen, Presbyterian Homes, and Ebenezer are all in the pipeline.
