Dan Dzina Founder of Averyn Care

About this episode

Who handles the appointments, medical records, phone calls, transportation, and constant changes when an aging parent wants to remain at home? For millions of family caregivers, coordinating care can become a second full-time job. In this episode of All Home Care Matters, host Lance A. Slatton welcomes Dan Dzina, Founder of Averyn Care, for an important conversation about long-distance caregiving, aging in place, healthcare coordination, and the often-overlooked administrative burden families shoulder while supporting aging loved ones. Dan spent more than a decade building and operating Medicare care management programs, helping develop a technology-enabled clinical services organization with a team of roughly 400. Yet when his own mother's health declined in 2025, he discovered that the systems he knew so well could not handle the everyday coordination his family needed. Appointments changed. Information lived in different offices. Callbacks arrived unpredictably. Every adjustment created more work, all while Dan was running a business and raising a family of his own. His solution began with hiring a personal assistant to manage the family's administrative follow-through.
