Aster Aging, formerly known as East Valley Adult Resources, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the independence and well-being of older adults throughout the East Valley. The location at 45 W University Drive in Mesa serves as an office for the organization, which provides a wide range of critical services and operates two vibrant senior centers in the area.

The organization’s most prominent program is Meals on Wheels, for which it is the exclusive provider in the East Valley, delivering over 100,000 meals annually to homebound seniors. In addition to home delivery, Aster Aging offers in-home support services designed to help older adults continue living safely and independently in their own homes.

For social engagement and daily activities, Aster Aging runs two primary locations: the Aster Senior Center at Mesa Downtown (247 N Macdonald) and the Aster Senior Center at Red Mountain. These centers serve as community hubs, offering hot congregate meals, a diverse array of fitness classes like yoga and Zumba, various social events and dances, card games, and educational workshops. The organization also provides social service coordination to connect seniors with benefits and other community resources.
