This chapter explores how robotic systems and ambient intelligence can enhance care for older adults in residential aged care (RAC) homes and private homes. Although these settings differ, we frame both as extreme and challenging environments for human-robot interaction (HRI), characterised by cluttered and dynamic layouts, diverse resident needs, and limited on-site technical support. We review embodied and non-embodied systems that assist with daily living, safety monitoring, and social engagement, highlighting hybrid deployments where robots complement fixed and wearable sensors. To ensure these technologies are usable and effective, design considerations consider the cognitive, physical, and social needs of older adults. Interaction design prioritises accessibility for older adults with low digital literacy, using robust but simple voice interfaces, small sets of non-verbal cues, accessible screen-based companions, and safe object handovers. Privacy, trust, and acceptability are addressed via practical strategies such as on-device inference, data minimisation, visible consent controls, and transparent data handling aligned with emerging artificial intelligence (AI) and privacy regulation. Evaluation emphasises real-world metrics including false alarms per day, time to recover from faults, staff workload, and long-term system reliability. We close by outlining open research challenges and future directions for scalable, regulation-ready deployments that support aging with dignity, safety, and independence.
