In beautiful Sawkud Ke:k, near Santa Rosa, AZ, surrounded by spectacular views of the desert and mountains, you will find the elder care facilities of the Tohono O’odham Nursing Care Authority (TONCA). TONCA was founded for the express purpose of bringing our elders home to our Nation so that they aren’t forced to go off-Nation for skilled nursing care or assisted living services. We believe our cherished elders are best served by being cared for within our community and our traditional Himdag. Here, we deliver culturally appropriate care aligned with our values and traditional lifestyle. Our friendly staff members invite you to explore our facilities: the Archie Hendricks Sr. Skilled Nursing Facility and the Tohono O’odham Elder Assisted Living Residence.
The Archie Hendricks Sr. Skilled Nursing Facility is not only a nursing home, but also provides short-term care, respite care, and hospice care to the elders of our Nation who suffer from illnesses, injuries, or disabilities. Archie Hendricks is the only facility on our Nation to provide such care to elders who need additional medical assistance following a hospital stay or after being diagnosed with a medical condition. Some of our medical services include the following:
While our elders are with us at Archie Hendricks, they have access to a full range of culturally oriented support services, including enriching activities, traditional foods, and social services.
Our elders no longer have to go off-Nation to receive assisted living services. At the Tohono O’odham Elder Assisted Living Residence, our elders can live with dignity surrounded by our traditional Himdag and while receiving all of the healthcare and personal care services they need. Our assisted living facility is a close-knit, home-like residence with spacious gathering areas that offer stunning views of the desert. Each resident has their own private bedroom and bathroom, and traditional foods are served daily.
We encourage our elders to preserve their independence as much as possible and to make their own choices, such as by choosing which activities to participate in. Each resident’s care plan is designed to accommodate their individual needs and wishes.
The Tohono O’odham Nursing Care Authority invites elders and their families to contact us for more information about our full range of elder care services. Call us today to request a tour or to discuss the admissions process. We also welcome inquiries from staff members at other facilities who need to refer Nation members to our skilled nursing care facility.
