Kristina Nation
Coach
I’m the founder of AFH Success Coach and owner of Everyday Grace Adult Family Homes in Federal Way and Des Moines, Washington. As a seasoned provider, mentor, and business coach, I help new and existing adult family home owners fill their homes, build strong teams, and operate with confidence and compliance—while creating more time, freedom, and joy in the process.
Before launching my coaching business, I spent years navigating the challenges of running successful adult family homes—learning firsthand what works (and what doesn’t). I understand how demanding it can be to juggle residents, caregivers, compliance, marketing, and family life.
That’s why I created The Full House Formula—a proven system that teaches you how to attract quality referrals, maintain occupancy, and grow a profitable, purpose-driven business you love.

A simple follow-up and tour process that converts inquiries into move-ins, helping you consistently fill beds, maintain occupancy, and generate predictable revenue.
Are you tired of running an adult family home that isn’t thriving?
You work hard. You care deeply about your residents. Yet your home isn’t consistently full, referrals feel unpredictable, and the financial pressure never fully lifts. Instead of feeling confident and supported, you may feel stuck—reacting instead of leading, hoping things improve rather than knowing they will.
It doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you were never meant to do this alone.
At AFH Success Coach, LLC, I help Adult Family Home Providers step out of survival mode and into intentional growth so your home can flourish, your impact can expand, and your life can finally have breathing room again.
There is a proven path to adult family home success
Successful Adult Family Home Providers don’t just rely on good intentions or hard work. They follow clear systems, understand how to attract the right residents, and run their homes with both heart and business wisdom.
When you have guidance, a plan, and someone who understands the AFH world walking alongside you, everything changes. Occupancy becomes consistent. Decisions feel clearer, stress decreases, and your home becomes what it was meant to be—a place of quality care, stability, and meaningful income.
That transformation is possible for you, too.
All The Tools You Need To Build
A Successful Life & Business
COACHING
You don’t have to figure out AFH success on your own. Coaching provides the clarity, strategy, and support you’ve been missing. One-on-one coaching gives you a trusted partner who understands the Adult Family Home industry and your daily realities.
We focus on building a home that is not only fully occupied but also sustainable, profitable, and aligned with your values.
ONLINE TRAINING
Clear, practical training designed to help you grow on your schedule.
Online training gives you the tools and understanding needed to strengthen your Adult Family Home without overwhelm. Adult Family Home Providers often receive licensing information but not the business and growth guidance required to truly thrive. That’s where we fill the gap.
PUBLIC SPEAKING
Engaging speaking designed to motivate and equip AFH professionals.
Speaking engagements bring encouragement, clarity, and practical wisdom to Adult Family Home communities. They need more than information—they need encouragement, perspective, and real-world guidance from someone who understands their challenges.

"Before working with Kristina, my home had been sitting half-empty for months. I was overwhelmed trying to figure out marketing, tours, and referrals. Within just a few weeks of joining The Full House Formula, I implemented her strategies—and I filled my last two rooms! Kristina’s system works because she understands what it’s really like to run an AFH. Her guidance gave me the confidence and tools to turn my business around."

"We had almost given up after struggling to find private-pay residents. Then we joined Kristina’s coaching program, and everything changed. She taught us how to tell our story, connect with referral sources, and run tours that wow families. In less than three months, we went from one resident to a full house. Now we’re even on a waitlist! Kristina is more than a coach—she’s a true mentor with a heart for helping providers succeed."

"Kristina helped me see my home as a business and my role as a leader. Her marketing templates,
follow-up scripts, and mindset coaching completely shifted how I show up. For the first time, I feel proud and confident sharing what makes my home special. Within 60 days, I filled my last two beds and built strong referral relationships that continue to bring inquiries. I can’t thank her enough!"
