Introducing Custom Caregiver Collections
Real books
for real people
in real places.
“This is a huge initiative for us - years in the making - more like a dream.
Jean Lee and Ann Campanella presented our first two collections to senior communities where their parents had resided. For both, it was an emotional, cathartic moment to gift these beautiful collection of our books, in handcrafted, solid wood bookcase made exclusively for AlzAuthors.”
- Marianne Sciucco, AlzAuthors Founder
A collection of books from the hearts of our AlzAuthors can now be held in many hands.
Beautifully crafted tabletop wooden bookshelves hold custom collections of approximately 15-18 books about Alzheimer’s and dementia, supporting our goal of providing real books to real people in real places.
With 300+ books in the AlzAuthors Bookstore, we are perfectly positioned to offer customized collections of memoirs, novels, caregiving guides, children’s books and more.
Custom Caregiver Collections are suited for Senior Care Communities, doctors’ offices, in-home care organizations, senior centers, memory cafes and professional or personal libraries. When placed together, these books take on a vibrant life of their own. Each book, each journey, represents years, if not decades, of shared vulnerability, revealed as a beautiful garden of healing for others.
Our gratitude goes out to our generous donor, AlzAuthor Paulette Sharkey, who covered the costs of creating our first ten Custom Caregiver Collections. These collections serve as the prototype available to care communities across the country. We are so thankful!!
