Kenny Ratzlaff was a man who dedicated his life to the betterment of his community. First and foremost, he was a man of God and a family man. He married the love of his life and spent 54 years with her, raising their children, and spending time with his grandchildren. Mr. Ratzlaff was founder and president of Beacon Specialized Living Services from 1998 until he passed away in 2021, advocating for individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health needs. Kenny had a deep compassion for people and wanted to make a positive difference to those he served. Driven by the desire to love Jesus and wanting others to experience Jesus’s powerful love in their own lives, he tirelessly worked to advocate for the best life possible for people – especially those with mental health difficulties. His legacy continues to last through his friends, family, his community, and especially at Beacon Specialized Living.

Interview
Fairly quick, they make sure you understand that you will be working with individual's of various backgrounds. Sometimes this means you can be bit, kicked, hit on the job. They also let you know that there is continuous education throughout employment so you understand the ever-changing policies.InterviewHave you ever worked in an AFC home type facility?
