Trinity began with my mother.
Dr. SueAnn Manuelito holds a Doctorate of Education, the highest degree in her field, alongside a master's in social work. She built Trinity to pair doctoral-level leadership with the community care her mother deserved.
“On the Navajo Nation, our elders are our pillars, the sacred foundation of our homes, and the home is a place that deserves the highest respect. When my mother began to need help, we expected her care to reflect that. Instead, we went through agency after agency, hoping for a caregiver who would be dependable and kind. Watching her feel unsupported in her own home was heartbreaking, and it is an experience I never want another family to endure. After she passed, I realized that if the care she deserved did not exist, I had to build it. We are not just filling a gap in care. We are honoring the people who built everything we come from.”SueAnn Manuelito, Founder and Owner
The Shimá Standard
Shimá means “my mother.” Trinity exists because of one. So every caregiver we hire, every schedule we build, and every report we file has to pass a single test: is this good enough for our own mothers? That is not a slogan. It is a checklist we run every day.
Screened three ways, then trained
State, federal, and Navajo Nation background checks on every caregiver, because tribal court records do not always show up in state checks. Then registry checks, training, and testing to AHCCCS standards. Employees, never anonymous contractors.
Care in the language of home
Diné or English, always your choice, from caregivers of your own community who know the roads and the way things are done.
A supervisor who shows up
A named field supervisor visits your home in person on a set schedule, not just a phone call.
Proof, not promises
Caregivers clock in and out electronically at your door, so the hours on paper are the hours at your home.
Winter is planned for
Mud, snow, and dirt roads are part of life here. We plan around them so care does not stop when the weather turns.
A real person answers
One office line, live-answered Monday to Friday, with a clear answer about your loved one's care.
Here for the long term.
In March 2024, the Navajo Nation Division of Economic Development approved a 25-year business site lease for Trinity at our Highway 264 office, signed with President Buu Nygren at Window Rock. When you choose Trinity, you are choosing a Navajo-owned agency that is built here, licensed here, and staying here.
“Congratulations to the both of you. You are a true example of the hard work and love for your people.”Navajo Nation President Dr. Buu Nygren, at the lease signing
The people who answer the phone
From welcoming visitors and supporting caregivers in the field to coordinating services for members, our office team keeps Trinity running every day. When you call, a real person answers, and when you stop by the office on Highway 264, the coffee is usually on.
Out in the community
You will find us at Elder Fest, the Navajo Nation Fair, chapter houses, and senior centers across the Nation, visiting with elders and families and answering questions about care at home in Diné or English. If you see the Trinity table, stop by.
We share where we will be next, along with staff spotlights and hiring news, on Facebook. Come say yá'át'ééh.
