A robot vacuum cleaner is an automatically operating vacuum cleaner that moves independently through a home and sucks up dust and dirt. In home care, this is a valuable addition, as it helps clients keep their homes clean without physical exertion. Especially for the elderly or people with disabilities, a robot vacuum cleaner offers a lot of convenience and independence.

A robot vacuum cleaner is particularly suitable for:

• Elderly people who have difficulty vacuuming.
  
• People with a physical disability or chronic illness.
  
• Clients with lung problems (such as COPD), where dust formation needs to be limited.
  
• People who live independently, but need light support in the household.

Given our extensive experience in cooperation with home care, we are able to help with the selection of the most suitable clients.

When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner for home care situations, it is important to pay attention to the following points:

1. User-friendliness: Is the robot easy for the client or caregiver to operate?
2. Programmability: Can the robot vacuum cleaner start automatically at fixed times?
3. Threshold recognition: Can the device cross thresholds or does it avoid obstacles?
4. Noise level: Is the vacuum cleaner quiet enough not to be disturbing?
5. Maintenance: How often does the device need to be emptied or cleaned?
6. Wifi and app functions: Can the caregiver remotely check if the device is working?

While there are no official "care robot vacuums" yet, there are models that are perfectly suitable for home care. For example:

• Jannie 4.1 (with user-friendly controls and strong suction)
  
• Willem 2.0 (for larger areas and programmable cleaning)
  
• Willem 2.0 with self-cleaning station (for larger areas and programmable cleaning where mopping is also required)

These models are regularly used in clients' homes and care institutions.

For clients in home care, a robot vacuum cleaner offers many advantages:

• Less physical strain
  
• More independence
  
• Daily cleanliness without effort
  
• Peace and regularity through programmed cleaning schedules
  
• Less dependence on help with cleaning

In care centers, everything revolves around comfort, safety, and hygiene. A robot vacuum cleaner:

In some cases, a robot vacuum cleaner can be reimbursed via the Wmo (Social Support Act). This varies by municipality. There must be a demonstrable care need or limitation that prevents independent vacuuming.

Contact the Wmo desk of the municipality or discuss this with the district nurse or care needs assessor.

Many people visit a physiotherapy practice, often barefoot or in socks. A robot vacuum cleaner:
