As the United States faces a dramatic shift in demographics, the need for compassionate, innovative leadership in elder care has never been greater. At the forefront of this transformation is Lance A. Slatton, widely known as “The Senior Care Influencer.” With over 20 years of experience in the field, Lance is not just a professional—he’s a purpose-driven advocate reshaping how we think about aging, caregiving, and support for older adults.
From the bedside to the boardroom, Slatton brings a rare blend of practical knowledge and visionary thinking to everything he does. His podcast and YouTube series, All Home Care Matters, has become a trusted resource for families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike—offering clarity, comfort, and community in an often-overwhelming system.
A Voice Born from Experience
Working as a senior case manager at Enriched Life Home Care Services in Livonia, Michigan, Lance has spent decades walking alongside families through some of the most difficult decisions of their lives. It’s this real-world experience that fuels the honesty and relevance of his advocacy.
But his impact stretches far beyond individual cases. Through content creation, writing, public speaking, and collaboration with healthcare startups and nonprofits, Lance is building a nationwide movement to elevate standards in elder care—and to ensure that every senior is seen, heard, and supported.
The Birth of a Movement During Crisis
Like many great innovations, All Home Care Matters was born out of necessity. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced in-person support groups and events to shut down, Lance faced a difficult question: How do we continue to support the caregiving community when we can’t meet face-to-face?
With no background in podcasting or media production, he took it upon himself to learn everything from scratch. What began as a digital experiment quickly grew into one of the most recognized caregiving shows in the country. Today, the platform offers weekly episodes, expert interviews, and practical advice to an ever-growing audience.
Awards and Recognition
Lance’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Over the past few years, he has earned multiple accolades that reflect the reach and impact of his mission:
-
YouTube Silver Creator Award (2023) – for surpassing 100,000 subscribers
-
Communicator Awards (2023–2025) – recognizing storytelling excellence in health and wellness
-
w3 Awards (2023, 2024) – celebrating innovation in healthcare media
-
International Impact Book Award (2024) – in the caregiving category
-
Top Influencer in Healthcare & Advocacy (2024)
-
50 Under 50 Honoree (2023)
These awards highlight not just the popularity of his show, but the deeper value it brings to a healthcare system in need of reform and humanity.
More Than Metrics: Impact That Matters
Despite the awards and growing national attention, Lance remains grounded in what truly matters: supporting caregivers and empowering families. For him, success isn’t measured in views or downloads—it’s measured in the relief of a mother navigating care for her parent, the confidence of a caregiver finding their voice, or the nonprofit leader given a platform to be heard.
One of his most personal and fulfilling moments was unboxing the YouTube Silver Creator Award with his children—a symbol not just of professional recognition, but of the values that fuel his mission: family, love, and service.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
Lance’s approach to leadership is shaped by a mindset of collaboration and humility. He often quotes Robert F. Kennedy:
“Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?”
This quote encapsulates his drive to not only improve what already exists but to reimagine what’s possible. Whether coaching youth sports in his community, mentoring health tech startups, or advocating for policy change, Lance stays focused on one goal: creating a better future for those who need it most.
A Personal Message to Future Leaders
To young professionals and aspiring leaders, Lance offers honest advice:
“Nothing worthwhile is ever handed to you—it’s earned. And it’s earned through hard work, consistency, and putting people first.”
In an era that often glorifies personal branding and individual achievement, Lance reminds us that true leadership is collective. It’s about lifting others, building systems that last, and staying grounded in the “why” behind the work.
Family: The Heart Behind the Mission
Despite his growing influence, Lance remains deeply rooted in family. He frequently credits his wife and three children—lovingly nicknamed Mad-Dog, Goose, and Roo—as his daily inspiration. Their love and support, he says, have made every milestone more meaningful.
“I would not be where I am today without them.”
In the end, Lance Slatton’s story is not just one of professional achievement—it’s a story of resilience, compassion, and vision. It’s about the lives he’s touched, the systems he’s challenged, and the future he’s helping to build for seniors and caregivers across the nation.
