Robot pets help care home dementia patients

Kallar Lodge, a council-run care home in east London, is using technology like robot pets and Amazon Alexas to support its 43 dementia residents.

As part of a new care tech initiative launched in 2023 with provider Alcove, the home has introduced robotic dogs and cats that reduce distress and encourage interaction, even among non-verbal residents.

Staff say these tools are improving residents’ emotional well-being and reducing social isolation.
