Sarah Viola

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.
