Skilled Nursing Care Close to Home

Archie Hendricks Sr. Skilled Nursing Facility (AHSSNF) is a Medicare/Medicaid-certified, 60-bed facility. We operate under the direction of the Tohono O’odham Nursing Care Authority (TONCA), providing a high level of nursing care for our elders. Our licensed and certified nursing staff provides high-quality healthcare services 24/7/365, as well as supporting departments that assist in meeting the needs of residents. AHSSNF is a short-term and long-term skilled nursing care facility that is strategically located in the center of The Nation for the convenience of our residents and their loved ones. Because our facility is located within the Tohono O’odham Nation, elders who previously would have had to go to off-reservation facilities can now stay close to home and receive care that is aligned with our traditions and values.

Who Needs Skilled Nursing Care (Short-Term Care) at AHSSNF?

Skilled nursing care is also referred to as short-term care and is not the same as assisted living care for elders. Short-term care is recommended by a person’s doctor and once the admission is approved, the person who arrives at AHSSNF has the goal of returning home as soon as they are clinically cleared. Here, our compassionate and highly trained staff members care for the elders of our Nation who have acute injuries or illnesses. Many elders can benefit from our skilled nursing care, including those in the following situations:

  • Those who have been recently discharged from a hospital, yet are still in need of medical care before returning home, such as:
    • Those who have fallen and sustained fractures
    • Those who have suffered a stroke and require rehabilitation
    • Those who require round the clock medical monitoring
    • Those who have wounds that are difficult to take care of at home
    • Those who need IV therapy
    • Those who need Physical and/or Occupational Therapy

If you aren’t sure whether AHSSNF is the right place for you or your loved one, we encourage you to contact us for more information. After reviewing your situation, we can make a determination as to whether AHSSNF is the appropriate choice. Please note that at this time, AHSSNF is only able to accept persons who have been referred for short-term skilled nursing care by another facility.
