About AFCNS

Learn more about our team: Jailyn Youngblood, Care Manager shares her story: I’ve worked in human services for about 20 years, and my journey into Adult Foster Care began in an unexpected way. A former coworker who had joined the team called me one afternoon and encouraged me to apply for an open position. After learning more about their mission and submitting my resume, I knew it was the right fit. Lori Ann Pacheco shares her story: What drew me to Adult Foster Care was their small, personalized approach to care. When someone in the home has a disability, it affects the entire family. I believed that by working closely with families, I could help improve their quality of life and support them in keeping their loved ones at home and thriving in the community. Deanna Benjamin, Director of Operations shares her story: What continues to inspire me in this work is seeing families be able to keep their loved ones at home, and in the community and thriving. Arnaldo Camero-Mallard, RN shares his story: As a nurse, I especially value the opportunity to meet with clients face-to-face, assess their needs in their own home environment, and adapt care to each unique situation. Every day brings new challenges and scenarios, which keeps me learning and growing while making a real impact. Bonnie Griffith, Assistant Program Director shares her story: The work we do changes every day with different scenarios, so I continue to learn and I continue to help people work with different staff. I plan to continue in this field for many years to come.
