Come Home to Our Elder Assisted Living Residence

For the elders of our Nation, living life well depends on receiving healthcare that is in harmony with the cultural values and customs of the Tohono O’odham Himdag. The Tohono O’odham Nursing Care Authority (TONCA) opened our elder assisted living residence to allow our elders to receive the healthcare services they need within our Nation, rather than having to relocate outside of our community to non-O’odham facilities. At the Tohono O’odham Elder Assisted Living Residence, our cherished elders are empowered to live with dignity and to enjoy complete health, including physical, psychological, spiritual, social, and intellectual wellness.

Live Gracefully with the Comforts of Home

When you move into our elder assisted living residence, you can enjoy all the comforts of home within our small, friendly community. Each of our residents receives their own private room and bathroom, fully furnished and equipped with a flat screen TV with cable. Our residents enjoy socializing with friends and caregivers in the spacious dens (featuring workstations with computers) and the great room, which offers a fireplace and spectacular views of the desert and mountains. Another favorite feature of our elders’ home is the covered patio with an outdoor fireplace. We provide a comfortable environment they can call home.
