Pets can play a powerful role in supporting seniors and those living with dementia. The companionship of a pet helps reduce loneliness, anxiety, and depression, while encouraging routine, movement, and emotional connection. For people with dementia, interacting with animals can trigger positive memories, calm agitation, and improve mood. Even simple moments—petting a dog or watching a cat—can bring comfort and a sense of purpose. At RoboFRND, we see how gentle companionship can make everyday life warmer, safer, and more connected.
