Our Mission

Guided by Tohono O'odham values and traditions, it shall be the mission of the Tohono O'odham Nursing Care Authority to take a leadership role in providing a continuum of care for elder members of the Tohono O’odham Nation and services designed to enhance the physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and intellectual qualities of life for aging O'odham and other members of the Nation in need of skilled nursing care, assisted living and hospice. 

Our Values

We are led by our Guiding Values. They are our road map of life and our approach to providing care.

 

•  All People deserve to live and die in dignity. Life, death, and dignity are uniquely defined by one’s own culture.

​

•  Health is more than the absence of disease. It is a complete combination of intellectual, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual states which form the condition of wellness we call health.

​

•  The Tohono O’odham Culture is important to the health and well being of the elderly.

​

•  Elderly members of the Nation should maintain contact with their communities rather than being relocated off of the Nation’s land to Non-O’odham facilities for health care services.

​

• It is essential that health care be delivered in a language the patient understands.

​

•  Individual autonomy and self-determination of the resident must be respected.

​

• Health care should be provided in harmony with the cultural values and customs of the O’odham Himdag.

 

• The Archie Hendricks Sr. Skilled Nursing Facility shall be resource efficient and where possible, return resources to the Nation.
