Navigating Benefits
Aging comes with new opportunities, but also new challenges — and for many older adults on fixed incomes, keeping up with the rising cost of living can feel overwhelming.
The good news is that meaningful help is available, and Aster is here to make sure you can find and access it. As part of the National Council on Aging's network of Benefits Enrollment Centers, Aster Aging connects older adults and individuals with disabilities on Medicare to resources that can strengthen their financial stability. Many people are surprised to learn what they may qualify for.
Programs Aster helps you access
Through our Benefits Enrollment Center, Aster helps East Valley older adults identify and apply for programs that ease the cost of food, utilities, and medical care. Our trained Outreach Specialists also provide:
- Needs assessments and resource navigation
- Education on chronic conditions
- Personalized guidance for individuals, families, and caregivers
- Identification of gaps in support
- Connections to local organizations and programs
By working directly with our team, you can gain a clearer picture of the benefits you may be entitled to and avoid missing critical resources due to complex eligibility requirements or confusing paperwork.
This service is completely free to East Valley residents. Whether you are looking for support for yourself or helping a family member explore their options, our team is ready to guide you through the process, answer questions, and connect you with the benefits you have earned and deserve.
Services are confidential, and assistance is available in a supportive, accessible, and respectful environment. Aster Outreach Specialists can also provide information and referrals for caregivers and families who want to plan for long-term care, nutrition, and health management — ensuring that older adults can maintain independence and quality of life for as long as possible.
