Automate laundry end to end. Improve NOI. More front-line care.
Zleni deploys robots that take over the laundry service end to end — loading, unloading, sorting, folding, and delivery — in retirement communities, giving laundry aides hours back for resident-facing work. Starting in Ontario assisted living and long-term care (LTC).
Prototype footage — the deployed robot handles the full workflow: loading, unloading, sorting, and folding.
Built for every setting across the senior care continuum.
Each setting runs on its own vocabulary, workflow and metrics. Choose yours to see the key terms and exactly where Zleni fits.
Skilled nursing
High linen volume and strict IPAC expectations — automated sorting and folding keeps turnaround predictable.
Key terms and workflow →
Long-term care
Resident clothing handled load after load, sorted by room, so aides stay on the care floor.
Key terms and workflow →
Assisted living
Personal laundry at a consistent standard without adding housekeeping headcount.
Key terms and workflow →
Independent living
Amenity-level laundry service that scales with occupancy instead of scheduling.
Key terms and workflow →
Hospice care
Quiet, dependable linen turnaround so staff time stays with residents and families.
Key terms and workflow →
Rehabilitation centers
Fast therapy-linen cycles with counted loads and reporting your team can audit.

Certified nursing assistant turnover runs at roughly 42% annually, the highest of any long-term care role. 90% of senior-care providers report that recruitment remains difficult. The full laundry service runs every single day — repetitive, physically demanding hours your laundry aides could spend on resident-facing work only a person can do.

What we do
Washes, sorts, folds
Loads and unloads machines, then sorts and folds facility linens and resident clothing to a consistent standard, by type, room, and resident.
Stages and delivers
Stages carts by unit and delivers clean, folded laundry back to resident rooms on your schedule.
Reports in real time
Completed loads logged for your laundry lead and anything unusual escalated instantly.
We run the whole laundry service: loading, unloading, sorting, folding, staging, and in-room delivery, phased in as we learn your workflow. We don't iron or mend.
Why we start with laundry.
It's high-volume, easy to standardize, and immediately useful — the fastest, safest service to automate end to end before we extend into other back-of-house work.
- High-frequency: laundry runs every single day in every community.
- Easy ROI math: loads folded and minutes saved are counted, not estimated.
- Standardized: linens and clothing fold to consistent, repeatable patterns.
- Low clinical risk: work happens in the laundry room, away from resident care.
- Frees staff: laundry aides shift hours from the laundry room to resident-facing work.
Laundry, end to end.
Laundry is the wedge. The platform is the destination.
Zleni is building the physical AI platform for senior living and long-term care. We start in the laundry room because it's the fastest, lowest-risk way to prove the robot — then the same robot, on the same subscription, takes on more of the facility. Every shift compounds the manipulation dataset and the clinical trust that make each next phase possible.
Laundry, end to end
Sort, load, unload, fold, and deliver — proving the robot, the ROI, and facility trust in a low-risk, high-frequency workflow.
Facility-wide tasks
Supply delivery, meal-tray pickup, and other non-clinical routines. Same robot, same subscription, expanding across the care floor.
Automated rounding and resident monitoring
Continuous overnight rounds — detecting falls, breathing anomalies, and other safety-critical events and escalating to the on-duty nurse. Clinical-grade alerts pending Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) licensure with Health Canada and the FDA.
Augmenting the personal support worker and the nurse — not replacing them.
The long-term vision is automated rounding: the same robot performs continuous supervisory rounds between scheduled staff checks, so a care team can safely watch over more residents with the same — or better — level of supervision. That is how facilities improve net operating income: less labour required per bed for supervision, without trading away resident safety. Clinical-grade monitoring is pending Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) licensure with Health Canada and the U.S. FDA.
Augmenting the PSW and nurse role
- Assists with documentation and reporting, cutting time spent on paperwork
- Supports rounding and monitoring between scheduled staff checks
- Engages residents directly with friendly, consistent interaction through the day
More supervision, less labour per bed
- Continuous overnight checks for falls and breathing anomalies
- Real-time escalation straight to the nurse on duty, without manual rounds
- Improved net operating income: the same supervision standard, fewer staffed hours
- Clinical-grade alerts pending SaMD licensure in Canada and the U.S.
Automated rounding and monitoring are in development and are not yet available for clinical use. Deployment depends on regulatory licensure.
Fully compliant, fully secure.
Zleni operates inside buildings that hold some of the most sensitive personal and health information there is. Our security and privacy program is built for that from day one, on both sides of the border.
HIPAA-compliant
Annual risk assessments, workforce training, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with every covered entity we serve.
PHIPA and PIPEDA aligned
Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act and Canada's PIPEDA govern how we collect, use, retain and disclose information — with Canadian data residency for Canadian deployments.
Encryption
Data encrypted in transit and at rest, with managed key rotation and least-privilege access control.
Tenant isolation
Per-client data segregation: each operator's data is isolated so no facility can ever see another's.
SOC 2 Type II
Independently audited controls across security, availability and confidentiality, reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Insurance
Commercial general liability, professional liability and cyber coverage — certificates provided before any pilot begins.
Zleni's laundry workflow is designed to avoid collecting personal health information wherever possible. Where resident identifiers are required for sorting, they are minimized, isolated per client, and retained only as long as the service requires.
