About this title

Synopsis

When Waves Rise is a must read for care providers taking care of a loved one at home, direct services providers who want to be more effective with patients, and professionals who wish to support the care providers they serve.

Sarah handles a difficult topic with care as she condenses 11 years of experience serving those living with dementia. Her experience has helped care providers, both personal and professional, better understand the “why” behind difficult moments.

The ever-present changes that dementia creates lead to challenges that are not easily understood. When Waves Rise helps to explain these changes and challenges with practical examples that provide technical explanations and takeaways. Care providers can use the tools in this book for day-to-day support and ongoing as the disease progresses.

Readers have stated that When Waves Rise “offers insight on how to react to changes in behavior” and “does excellent job of explaining the progression of dementia and how it is viewed from the dementia sufferer and the caregiver.” Further stating “excellent, practical and useful book filled with picture language to make a complicated subject understandable.”

About the Author

Sarah Viola has been specializing in the care of those living with cognitive impairment, specifically dementia, for over ten years. Her love for those living with cognitive dysfunction began when she was in college and became extraordinarily strong while completing a fieldwork experience at the North Dakota State Hospital in Jamestown, ND. 

She felt a strong pull to serve those she felt had a risk of "losing their voice," limiting their ability to live a life of their choosing as their disability progressed. 

Throughout her career, Sarah has studied many models of dementia care. Through professional implementation, she realized there were specific skills that she was consistently teaching to care providers that helped them create a better quality of life for themselves and those in their care.
