The event is open and free for anyone, including authors, dementia advocates, the existing AlzAuthors community and authors, and anyone interested in the future of the site.

Slatton, widely known as “The Senior Care Influencer,” is the founder and host of the popular All Home Care Matters, the nation’s leading caregiver-focused media platform, resource and voice in long-term care. Slatton began 2026 by announcing plans to take over the leadership role of AlzAuthors, the leading community of authors writing about Alzheimer’s and dementia.
His dedicated leadership team are committed to preserving the legacy of AlzAuthors and continue its mission to light the way for caregivers and those living with dementia, ensuring that every story finds its home and every voice is heard.
“The founders and board members of AlzAuthors have created an exceptional resource, and our role is to help it grow while preserving what makes it so unique and meaningful,” said Slatton. “We’re not altering the mission, we’re expanding the support so the transition should feel seamless for readers, authors, and the global dementia community.”
The Town Hall meetings will help Slatton in the transition process.
“We really encourage people to attend these town halls,” Slatton said. “The future of AlzAuthors is a living library where every new story, study, and strategy keeps dementia care one step more informed and one step less alone. What makes AlzAuthors the pinnacle of dementia resources is not only what we offer today, but our promise to keep listening, learning, and leading for every family tomorrow.”
Slatton says the future vision of AlzAuthors is bold and simple: wherever dementia touches a life, our resources, education, and books will be within easy reach.
“The next era of AlzAuthors will marry powerful storytelling with cutting‑edge education, ensuring that every caregiver has both a compassionate hand to hold and expert knowledge to lean on. AlzAuthors is committed to remaining the gold standard in dementia support—continually elevating our library, our learning, and our community so no caregiver ever walks behind the times.”
AlzAuthors is not just keeping pace with dementia care—it is setting the standard, curating the most trusted books and resources so families never have to guess where to turn. And as dementia advances, so will AlzAuthors — expanding its shelves, education and reach to remain the pinnacle of reliable guidance for the journey ahead.

Tel Aviv–Jaffa business leader Said Abulafia shares lessons from a historic Arab family-owned bakery that has served customers for nearly 150 years.
Tel Aviv–jaffa, Israel, 22nd July 2026, ZEX PR WIRE— Most businesses do not make it to ten years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 34.7% of private-sector establishments born in 2013 were still operating in 2023. Family businesses face another challenge: only about 30% transition to the second generation, and roughly 12% remain viable into the third.

That makes Abulafia Bakery’s history unusual. Founded in Jaffa in 1879, the historic Arab family-owned bakery has operated for nearly 150 years through political change, economic pressure, shifting customer habits, and several generations of family leadership.
Said Abulafia believes the bakery’s long history offers practical lessons for modern businesses trying to survive.
“When people hear that the bakery started in 1879, they think about history,” says Abulafia. “I think about responsibility. Every generation had to make decisions that kept the business alive. That is the real lesson.”
Longevity Starts With Trust
For Abulafia, the bakery’s staying power begins with customer trust. Customers return because they know what to expect. They recognize the product, the place, and the experience.
Modern businesses often focus on attention. Abulafia believes trust matters more.
“A customer who comes once is important,” he says. “A customer who comes back with their children or grandchildren tells you something much deeper. It means the business became part of their routine.”
That kind of loyalty is not built by a single strong campaign. It is built through years of consistency.
Consistency Is Not Old-Fashioned
In a fast-moving business environment, consistency can sound plain. Abulafia sees it differently.
For a bakery, consistency is operational. Ingredients must be reliable. Production has to stay controlled. Service has to feel familiar. Small changes are noticed quickly.
“If something changes in the product, regular customers know,” he says. “They may not explain it in technical terms, but they feel it. That is why consistency is not just a nice idea. It is part of the business model.”
Adaptation Without Losing Identity
Abulafia says one of the biggest challenges for heritage businesses is knowing what to change and what to protect.
A business founded in 1879 cannot operate exactly as it did in earlier generations. Costs change. Customer behavior changes. Competition changes. Operations must improve.
At the same time, moving too far from the core identity can weaken what has kept the business going.
“You have to modernize carefully,” says Abulafia. “If you change everything, you lose the reason people trusted you. If you change nothing, you fall behind. The work is finding the line between the two.”
What Modern Businesses Can Learn
Abulafia believes the bakery’s history offers several lessons that extend beyond hospitality.
First, businesses need a clear core. They should understand what customers return for and protect it.
Second, growth should not come before stability. A weak system becomes harder to manage as it expands.
Third, businesses should listen to repeat customers. Long-term customers often notice operational problems before leadership does.
“People talk a lot about innovation,” he says. “But sometimes the best information comes from a customer who has been coming to you for 20 years and notices when something feels different.”
Pressure Reveals Weakness
The bakery has faced many periods of uncertainty, including the COVID-19 pandemic, supply disruptions, rising costs, and fluctuating demand. Abulafia says those periods forced the business to simplify and strengthen its systems.
“When conditions are easy, you can ignore problems,” he says. “When pressure comes, every weakness becomes visible. That is when you either fix the system or keep repeating the same mistakes.”
For Abulafia, pressure is not only a challenge. It is a test of how well a business is built.
A Call to Study Businesses That Last
Abulafia encourages entrepreneurs, operators, and family business owners to study long-running businesses, not only fast-growing ones.
Many modern business stories focus on rapid scale. Abulafia believes there is equal value in studying enduring companies.
“A business that lasts for generations has already answered questions many newer businesses are still trying to solve,” he says. “How do you keep trust? How do you adapt? How do you stay useful to people over time?”
Call to Action
Abulafia encourages business owners to take practical steps:
-
Identify what customers truly return for
-
Protect the parts of the business that create trust
-
Make changes gradually and measure the impact
-
Listen closely to long-term customers
-
Build operations that can survive difficult periods
“Longevity is not one big decision,” he says. “It is many small decisions made well over time.”

New York City, NY, USA, July 22nd, 2026, FinanceWire
Knot, the leading merchant connectivity platform, has announced its partnership with RBC, Canada’s largest bank, to make RBC cards the default payment method for millions of cardholders wherever they spend. Using Knot’s CardSwitcher, RBC cardholders can set their RBC card as the saved payment method at their favorite merchants directly from the RBC mobile app, without manually entering card details. The partnership marks Knot’s first expansion beyond the United States.
Keeping RBC Top of Wallet
One of the hardest moments in payments is the first one. When a cardholder gets a new RBC card, putting it to use means hunting down every merchant where a card is already saved and updating each one by hand, so a new card often sits idle for weeks before it sees real spend. The partnership removes that friction. From the RBC app, cardholders add their RBC card to their preferred merchants in a few taps and set it as the saved payment method at the places they already spend, from the day the card is in hand.
For RBC, that means a card that goes to work immediately instead of waiting to be activated across a cardholder’s everyday spend. Placing the card as the default at the merchants cardholders use most keeps it top of wallet, turning a new RBC card from an occasional choice into a go-to payment method from the start and driving repeat spend and deeper loyalty to RBC.
Expanding into Canada with the Country’s Largest Bank
For years, Knot has built the merchant connectivity layer across the United States, linking the people, financial institutions, and merchants behind everyday spend. RBC is where that infrastructure goes international for the first time. Canada is Knot’s first market beyond the U.S., and launching it with the country’s largest bank sets the standard for every market that follows.
RBC did not become Canada’s largest bank by standing still. They move early, they invest in their clients, and they push the industry forward. That is exactly the kind of partner Knot wants to build alongside, and the reason RBC is the right first step into a new market. Bringing CardSwitcher to Canadian cardholders is the start of a longer roadmap, both for what Knot and RBC build together and for where Knot goes next.
About RBC
Royal Bank of Canada is a global financial institution with a purpose-driven, principles-led approach to delivering leading performance. Its success comes from the 101,000+ employees who leverage their imaginations and insights to bring the company’s vision, values, and strategy to life so it can help its clients thrive and communities prosper. As Canada’s biggest bank, and one of the largest in the world based on market capitalization, RBC has a diversified business model with a focus on innovation and providing exceptional experiences to its more than 19 million clients in Canada, the U.S., and 27 other countries.
