For families and elders

Taking care of your mom or dad? You could get paid for it.

Arizona has a program that pays for in-home help for elders and people with disabilities. If your family member qualifies, the paid caregiver can be you - a daughter, son, grandchild, or spouse. Most families pay nothing.

The program is called ALTCS - the Arizona Long Term Care System. It is part of the same state health coverage many elders already have. Many families on the Navajo Nation qualify and were simply never told this program exists. The care you are already giving out of love - helping with bathing, dressing, meals, and rides to appointments - may be work the program will pay for.

How Trinity helps, step by step

We are a Navajo family-owned company in Tse Bonito. We walk with you through the whole application - in Diné or English, at no cost and no pressure. If your elder qualifies, we hire and train your family caregiver, and they earn $17.50 an hour caring for the person they already love. If you would rather have a trained caregiver from your community instead of a family member, we provide that too.

Honest answers to the two questions everyone asks

Does it cost the family anything? No. Trinity is paid by the program, not by families. Helping you apply costs nothing, whether or not your elder qualifies.

Is there a catch for family caregivers? The program has a few rules for paid family caregivers - for example, limits on weekly hours for spouses - and we go over every rule with you in plain language before anyone starts. No surprises.
