Alzheimer’s disease leads to a state where a person knows neither where they are, why they are there or what they are supposed to do. This leads to anxiety. The best way to deal with this is to exude calm and assure the sufferer that all is well and there is nothing to be afraid of. Animals can help this process by encouraging calm in the sufferer, probably more effectively than any person because they don't have to worry about how to interact with or speak to such a creature!
