The Founders of AlzAuthors & The Transition to All Home Care Matters
All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome the founders of AlzAuthors as guests to the show to discuss the history of AlzAuthors & the transition to All Home Care Matters.
AlzAuthors was founded in 2015 by three authors—Marianne Sciucco, Jean Lee, and Vicki Tapia—each of whom cared for and lost loved ones to dementia and wrote about those journeys.
The three first connected in 2015 on social media, began promoting each other’s dementia-care books, and soon realized that a collaborative platform could help many more caregivers find trustworthy, experience-based resources in one place.
What began as a small, one-month blog project evolved into a worldwide network of nearly 400 authors across six continents, making AlzAuthors a trusted destination for Alzheimer’s and dementia storytelling.
Over the past decade, the initiative has expanded to include curated books, a podcast, film festivals, virtual events, blogs, and other creative formats that center the voices of caregivers and people affected by dementia.
Transition to All Home Care Matters:
In January 2026, AlzAuthors transitioned to new leadership under All Home Care Matters, the caregiver-focused podcast and media platform founded by Lance A. Slatton.
All Home Care Matters will maintain AlzAuthors’ established mission and brand while managing the website, producing future podcasts, and expanding opportunities for authors and cross-promotion so the community can grow without losing its core identity.
Legacy of the Marianne Sciucco, Jean Lee, and Vicki Tapia:
Co-founders Sciucco, Lee, and Tapia built AlzAuthors into a respected, volunteer-driven organization known for its rigorous review process and deep commitment to caregiver support.
Through this transition, their legacy lives on as All Home Care Matters stewards the next chapter, with plans to preserve what makes AlzAuthors unique while increasing its reach and impact for caregivers worldwide.
