With aging demographics reshaping the healthcare landscape, Lance A. Slatton has emerged as a vital voice cutting through the noise. Known as “The Senior Care Influencer,” he brings more than 20 years of industry expertise to the forefront, using his platform to drive meaningful conversations, challenge outdated systems, and champion innovation in senior care.
As the host of the award-winning podcast and YouTube series All Home Care Matters, Lance has become a trusted name in senior care, blending expert insights with human-centered storytelling that resonates with families, professionals, and policymakers alike. In his role as senior case manager at Enriched Life Home Care Services in Livonia, Michigan, he pairs his on-the-ground experience with a visionary approach to caregiving.
Recognized nationally, Lance was named a “50 Under 50” honoree in 2023 and earned the title of Top Influencer for Healthcare and Advocacy in 2024. A prolific writer and journalist, he is a columnist for numerous healthcare and news outlets, where his pieces challenge the status quo and spotlight innovative solutions for elder care challenges.
What sets Lance apart is a mindset shaped by the words of Robert F. Kennedy: “Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?” This philosophy fuels his relentless pursuit of progress—improving existing systems while boldly creating new ones. Whether he’s mentoring startups in the healthcare space, contributing to national discourse, or coaching youth sports with his family, Lance’s mission is clear: to amplify the voices that often go unheard and to drive meaningful change in how we care for our aging population.
A Pandemic Pivot
Lance shares that All Home Care Matters was born out of a desire to support family caregivers, senior care companies, healthcare non-profits, and thought leaders by providing a platform to amplify their voices and messaging. Initially, it wasn’t intended to become a full-scale production company—like many impactful ventures, it happened organically. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Lance’s company, Enriched Life Home Care Services, was actively engaged across Michigan, organizing support groups, musical luncheons, educational seminars, and a variety of community-focused events.
When the pandemic hit and in-person interactions came to a halt, Lance was driven to find an alternative way to continue serving families and caregivers. That’s when the idea of launching a podcast came to mind. At the time, he admits to knowing very little about podcasting, but as he researched and learned more about the medium, he realized it was the perfect tool to stay connected with and support the caregiving community during such an uncertain time. What began as a solution to an immediate challenge has since evolved into a powerful, widely respected platform.
Nation’s Leading Voice in Long-Term Care
All Home Care Matters stands as a nationally recognized, multiple award-winning podcast and YouTube series dedicated to supporting families, caregivers, and their loved ones as they navigate the complex world of long-term care. With a reputation for compassionate storytelling, expert insights, and real-world resources, the platform has become a trusted guide and advocate for those on the front lines of caregiving.
In recent years, All Home Care Matters has earned widespread acclaim and industry recognition, underscoring its powerful impact in the health and wellness space:

Under the leadership of Lance, the show has grown into more than a content series—it’s a movement centered on empathy, education, and empowerment. Whether it’s through in-depth interviews, practical guides, or heartfelt stories, All Home Care Matters continues to elevate the caregiving conversation and shine a light on the people and issues too often left in the shadows.
The Rewarding Journey
With years of dedication poured into All Home Care Matters, Lance reflects on the journey with deep appreciation and joy. The podcast officially launched in May of 2020, and over the past five-plus years, the experience has far exceeded anything he could have imagined. Among the many meaningful milestones, one moment stands out as especially personal and memorable: receiving the YouTube Silver Creator Award. What made it truly special was involving his kids—and many of their friends—in creating a fun and celebratory unboxing video of the award. It marked the first and only time his children have been part of the podcast, making the occasion even more heartfelt. Lance fondly recalls promising them that when All Home Care Matters reaches the next milestone—the YouTube Silver Creator Award—they’ll once again be part of the unboxing celebration. This blend of professional achievement and family involvement has made the journey not only successful but deeply rewarding.
Redefining Success in the Caregiving Space
Lance doesn’t count milestones the way most would. He doesn’t tally accolades, audience metrics, or social media impressions. “That’s never been how I look at things,” he reflects. And yet, five years into the journey of building a platform dedicated to supporting caregivers, a neutral observer might reasonably classify his trajectory as a clear success.
But Lance resists conventional definitions. For him, impact is measured not in numbers but in lives touched. Whether it’s offering guidance to overwhelmed family caregivers, amplifying the efforts of nonprofit organizations, or providing a stage for innovators and authors in the elder care space, his focus remains squarely on service.
All Home Care Matters has grown into more than just a show—it’s a trusted resource, a community, and a catalyst for change within an industry often overlooked. Lance’s guiding philosophy is simple yet powerful: help others, and the rest will follow.
He also carries a deeply personal conviction about potential and perseverance. “If you have a dream or idea, it’s possible to make it real,” he emphasizes. His message to readers—today’s dreamers and tomorrow’s changemakers—is one of self-belief. In a world quick to cast doubt, Lance insists that true momentum comes from within. “Believe in yourself more than others do,” he urges, underscoring a message that resonates far beyond caregiving and into the broader fabric of entrepreneurship and leadership.
Leadership Wisdom
In a candid reflection shared with World’s Leaders magazine, Lance offered grounded, no-frills advice to the next generation of changemakers. “If you want to achieve success, it’s not going to be easy,” he stated unequivocally. “Never expect it to be handed to you.”
Lance, who has built a platform synonymous with support, empathy, and advocacy in the caregiving sector, knows firsthand the demands of turning vision into reality. His journey, marked by persistence and purpose, is a testament to the power of consistent effort. “It takes hard work and full commitment to get where you want to be,” he emphasized.
But drive alone isn’t enough. He underscored the importance of humility and collaboration as equally essential ingredients to long-term achievement. Respecting others, staying open to feedback, and embracing continuous learning are not signs of weakness, he suggests—they’re the quiet strengths that build enduring influence.
Operating in a space where people navigate some of life’s toughest challenges, Lance believes unity is key. “If we all work as a team to help others, then we all win,” he said. In a world where individual success is often glorified, Lance’s message is a timely reminder that real leadership is about lifting others as you climb.
At the Heart of It All
While Lance is widely recognized as a thought leader and advocate and has earned the name “The Senior Care Influencer” in the caregiving space, he remains first and foremost a devoted husband and father. Behind the professional accolades and growing impact of All Home Care Matters lies a deeply rooted foundation: family.
Lance is quick to credit his wife and their three children—affectionately known as Mad-Dog, Goose, and Roo—as his unwavering source of strength and inspiration. “I would not be where I am today without them,” he says. “I love each of you more than you will ever know.”
In a world where professional titles often overshadow personal identity, Lance’s tribute to his family serves as a powerful reminder: true success begins at home.
