Marianne Sciucco Show producer and host Marianne Scuicco is a co-founder and director at AlzAuthors and a registered nurse who cared for hundreds of dementia patients over a 20-year career. She provided care to her stepfather during his dementia journey and witnessed the painful decline of four beloved aunts to the disease.

Alz Authors
In each episode, we interview one of our authors who may have written a memoir, caregiver guide, novel, children’s book, activity guide, poetry book, or blog. Their backgrounds are diverse, and their situations vary – it may be someone living with the disease, a caregiver for a loved one at home or in a facility, or a professional carer. All have joined AlzAuthors because dementia impacted their lives and they wish to help others through the disease. Their personal stories offer insight often told through laughter and sometimes tears.

Whether you are a caregiver, family member, or living with dementia you’ll find revelations, wisdom, and understanding from decades of caregiving.

May one of our authors speak to your experience.

Managed by eight volunteers who have all witnessed the loss of a loved one with dementia, AlzAuthors provides access to quality resources that not only answer your questions, but offer knowledge, comfort, and support. Visit our website, alzauthors.com to find the web’s most comprehensive collection of books and blogs on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia all in one place.
