Meet Our Team

Jason is an experienced, values driven, home care business leader who has dedicated the last 20 years of his career to keeping people in their homes and residences. During those 20 years, Jason has worked for both large and small organizations/companies that provide services in home health (skilled), home dialysis and home care (non-skilled). He understands the importance of keeping our seniors and those with health concerns in their most comfortable setting, their home; not simply because that is his passion in life, but because he too has had the experience from the family side of it when he and his family decided his mother (73) needs round the clock care in Arkansas, where he is originally from. 

Nancy has dedicated her career to advocating for those in need. Her advocacy for providing quality care for vulnerable populations including children and seniors has been evident through the non-profit’s she’s been lucky enough to have worked in Arkansas, Texas and Arizona. Born in a small town in Mexico she immigrated to the U.S. when she was young child and grew up in Arkansas where her and Jason met and began their lives together. 

Jason and Nancy moved to Texas in 2010, married in 2011 and have two beautiful daughters, Elianna and Alexa. The family moved to Arizona in 2020 and now owns the Home Instead franchise in Sun City, AZ. They love it here in Arizona and are grateful to be able to serve the Sun City / Peoria communities. Please give them or one of their experienced and dedicated team members a call to discuss your needs or the needs of a loved one. 

As owners they’re here to ensure those that have the ability to stay in their homes can do so with dignity and respect. You’ll see why they are considered the most elite home care business in Sun City / Peoria.

My name is Alicia Sunada and I recently moved from Oregon with my husband and two cats. There, I worked for Home Instead for the last 5 years. My favorite part of my job is being an advocate for Caregivers. I love problem solving and helping others be successful. My experience started as a Caregiver in 2016, where I learned to appreciate the importance of care. This later helped me in life when my Papa became very sick, and I was able to step in and help my Nana care for him. The training, knowledge, and resources I had from being a part of Home Instead, really impacted this journey in a positive way. To Home Instead, it really is personal and is why I love working here!

My name is Debbie Gerlach. I am originally from Detroit, Michigan. I moved to Arizona in 1988 to be with my extended family. I love spending time with my husband of 17 years and my rescue dogs. I enjoy traveling to new places and exploring different things when I can. I have a medical background of 32 years as a CNA/LNA and caregiver. My most recent experience was with Hospice as a CNA providing homecare to patients near the end of their life. I was the go-to person and was responsible for training newly hired CNA’s. I also had the pleasure of caring for my own grandmother and mom whom I was very close to. I love caring for people and helping them out however that may be. I’m looking forward to my new role with Home Instead and supporting the Care Professionals.

I am happily married to the love of my life, Jeff, since 2017.. I am the mother of 6 adult children and have 5 grandboys ages 18 down to1 years old. We recently moved to Sun City from Washington state for the WARMTH and to be closer to our daughter, Britt, who has the 2 youngest grandboys, along with many other family and friends who have moved here.

My hobby has been participating in NASCAR, both as a race car driver and as a championship team owner. I served a few years as the NASCAR Ambassador for Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. Now we are in a new phase of life where we will be exploring and developing new hobbies.

I am enjoying meeting and becoming friends with many of the seniors in my area and feel compelled to make a difference in their lives. I researched Home Instead and found that we have the same goals and beliefs about the important and attentive care someone like our 99 year old grandma would need. I have 12+ years in scheduling and office administration and am enjoying putting those skills to good use serving my community here at Home Instead!

I was born and raised in Guadalajara Mexico. As an adult I moved to the USA and lived in Washington state before moving to Arizona in 2001. Since then, I have worked in the healthcare field at different capacities, from caregiver to medical assistant to currently certified hospice palliative nursing assistant (CHPNA).

I have 2 children. My daughter Mariana and my son Tyler, both live in the Northwest. I have 2 grand cats Bobee and Ruby.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym or going for walks in my neighborhood. When I feel lazy, I love to watch documentaries or movies based on true stories just like I enjoy nonfiction books. I especially enjoy biographies--not necessarily about famous people though.

It is exciting to be part of Home Instead for the second time around! I hope to be a strong asset to the company by giving my best to support our clients, Care Pros, and coworkers.

My name is Stacie Malone. I was born and raised in Grand Island, Nebraska. I am a mom of 2 boys. I started my journey into the healthy field by volunteering at a local nursing home at the age of 13 in the activities department. After a few jobs, I was drawn back to a nursing home working in housekeeping and laundry, before moving to Casper, Wyoming where I started my nursing career in 2006 and received my CNA license in 2007. I spent 9 years at the same facility because I knew that was my calling, and that is where my heart belongs. I moved to Arizona in March of 2018 while still upholding my current CNA license in long term and rehab facilities. I was exploring my options and was referred to work at Home instead. I knew I wanted to stay in the nursing field, but at the same time more of a home setting. I found just that, to stay with my passion, I knew Home instead was the place to be. I am excited and looking forward to my position as Training and Engagement Coordinator. To Home Instead it’s personal!
