Abstract
Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 Pandemic-related restrictions have limited pet visitation in long-term care; however, the integration of robotic pets may offer alternative solutions. This study explored the behavioral outcomes of a robotic cat after participation in simulated pet care activities for participants with dementia. Positive behavioral observations during robotic cat exposures, as compared with cat videos, were significant. No changes in agitation symptoms of dementia were observed after eight sessions.
