Episode 393 - (Please subscribe) All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Spencer Cline as guest to the show. About Spencer Cline: Spencer Cline became familiar with FTD at a very young age, as his father started exhibiting behavioral changes shortly after he was born. His dad was diagnosed with bvFTD when Spencer was seven years old, then was diagnosed with the C9orf72 genetic variant, which is linked to both FTD and ALS. After watching his dad fight the disease until he passed in 2012, Spencer developed a passion for spreading awareness in hopes to find a cure – a passion that has only grown with time. Spencer has organized multiple fundraising/awareness events with the Babson College men’s basketball team, biked across the U.S. in support of FTD in 2024, helped get resolution passed in Georgia recognizing September 21st -27th as FTD Awareness week in the state and was Keynote Speaker at AFTD’s 2025 Hope Rising Benefit. He also serves as an AFTD Ambassador. About The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD): The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is the leading nonprofit devoted to helping families affected by frontotemporal degeneration today while driving research that supports accurate diagnosis, treatments, and ultimately a cure. AFTD’s mission is centered on improving quality of life for everyone impacted by FTD, and it advances that mission through five core pillars: research, awareness, support, education, and advocacy. In practice, that means funding and promoting research, expanding public and professional understanding of FTD, and pushing for the services and policies families need. For individuals and families, AFTD provides direct support through resources and its HelpLine, which is staffed by social workers who can answer questions, offer guidance after a new diagnosis, and connect people to relevant services and community support. AFTD is volunteer founded and community powered, and it has grown into a widely recognized expert organization in FTD and young onset dementia, partnering with researchers, clinicians, advocates, and families to accelerate progress and expand access to high quality care and support. #care #caregiving #caregiver #caregivers #dementia #alzheimer #alzheimers #family #familycaregiver #dementiaawareness #alzheimersawareness #aftd #frontotemporal https://lnkd.in/gwJvw928

Episode 392 - (Please subscribe) All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Rachel Shapiro as guest to the show. About Rachel Shapiro: Rachel Shapiro is the Head of Marketing for LivTech’s In-Home Care division, supporting brands including CareTime, Ally, Qualis, and WorldView. Her work focuses on helping home care, home health, hospice, and senior care organizations navigate complex operational and regulatory challenges with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Her connection to this industry is deeply personal. When a close family member suddenly needed home health support, it fundamentally changed how Rachel understands care not just as a profession, but as something lived every day. That experience reshaped how she shows up in her work, grounding her perspective in empathy for families, caregivers, and care teams alike. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her family and is driven by a belief that the business of care should never become a barrier to care itself. About LivTech: LivTech is a healthcare technology company dedicated to supporting organizations that deliver care in the home. Through a portfolio of specialized brands — including CareTime, Ally, Qualis, and WorldView — LivTech provides software and services designed for home care, home health, hospice, PACE, and senior care organizations navigating increasingly complex operational and regulatory environments. LivTech’s solutions address the real work behind care delivery: billing and revenue cycle management, documentation, visit verification, equipment management, compliance, and operational visibility. Each brand is purpose-built for its specific audience, ensuring providers are not forced into generic systems that don’t reflect how care is actually delivered or reimbursed. What sets LivTech apart is its deep industry alignment. The company works alongside providers to understand the downstream impact of daily operational decisions — from documentation and EVV to claims, cash flow, and compliance risk. Rather than focusing on surface-level efficiency, LivTech helps organizations build durable systems that support predictable revenue, audit readiness, and sustainable growth. LivTech partners closely with provider associations, industry experts, and care leaders across the country to stay ahead of regulatory shifts and operational challenges. This hands-on approach ensures that solutions evolve with the realities of care, not just the technology roadmap. At its core, LivTech believes the business of care should strengthen — not obstruct — the delivery of care. Its mission is to give providers the clarity, confidence, and support they need to focus on what matters most: the people they serve. https://lnkd.in/gDreBDWc #care #inhomecare #resources #homecare #health #healthcare #caregiver #caregivers #caregiving #longtermcare #ageinplace

Episode 391 - (Please subscribe) All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Dan Goerke as guest to the show. About Dan Goerke: Dan Goerke grew up in northern Indiana and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He has led a life of varied endeavors and accomplishments in competitive swimming, real estate, volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association, is a Reiki Master, candle maker and author. Dan suddenly found himself a caregiver to his wife Denise upon her diagnosis at age 56 of Alzheimer’s Disease. Uninformed and uneducated about the disease he quickly utilized the resources of the Alzheimer’s Association to learn more about the disease progression, caregiving tips and practices, support groups, and elder care attorneys. Two years into his caregiving journey he began communicating telepathically with Denise which aided tremendously in her care. Dan now offers private sessions to those who want to hear from their loved ones who have gone silent. He has appeared in over 40 different media publications and programs talking about dementia, caregiving, and telepathic communication. He was most recently featured on an episode of “The Telepathy Tapes” podcast. Dan's first book, "Unforgettable, Unbelievable", was inspired by many friends and family members who encouraged him to write about his caregiving experiences while taking care of his wife Denise. About "Unforgettable, Unbelievable": “Unforgettable, Unbelievable: A Journey of Telepathy, Caregiving, and Alzheimer’s” follows Dan Goerke as he discovers he can communicate telepathically with his wife Denise, whose Alzheimer’s has taken away her ability to speak clearly. This unexpected connection allows Denise to guide him from the “inside,” sharing practical tricks and preferences that make day-to-day caregiving more effective and more dignified for her. Through this lens of telepathy, Dan describes the emotional and physical challenges of caregiving while offering concrete tips for both new and experienced caregivers, blending a realistic view of Alzheimer’s with humor and warmth. The book ultimately becomes a portrait of a devoted marriage in the face of decline, showing how love, creativity, and even seemingly mystical experiences can help families navigate the silence that often comes with advanced dementia. #dementia #alzheimers #books #caregiver #caregiving #caregivers #seniorcare #dementiaawareness #healthcare #ageinplace #resources #authors #help #helpingothers #memorycare #caregivertips https://lnkd.in/eU5zn_rU
