Many times, when families are looking for, or researching assisted living in a particular city, they may very well be doing it remotely - or from out of town, state, or country. This usually is because mom or dad lives a considerable distance away from close family (or friends).

Since we now live in an age where research can be done from any computer, and many phones and personal devices, researching assisted living can be much easier now - if you know where to look.

One of the things we have noticed over the years is that most cities and towns have a library site - and most of the time, library sites have a seniors or aging page that lists national, state and city information sources, agencies, and services that may be helpful or informative to seniors, or families looking for information on senior care, assisted living, Alzheimer's chapters, or even senior centers in that particular city.

The City of Mesa offers a great example of how a library site can showcase this information to it's users by having a dedicated seniors section easily findable or searchable on it's website.

If you visit the Mesa Library site, and use it's search function at the top-right of the page - do a search for the word 'seniors' and it will query the website for that term. At the time of this writing, at least a few dozen results came up - the first one being "Mesalibrary for Seniors." We went to this page, and found a large list of local and national sites (including ours) as well as a section for Local Elder Care Agencies. Listed in this section is the East Valley Adult Resources page, which 'Provides programs, services, and activities to older adults in Mesa, East Mesa and Apache Junction.' We also found information, phone numbers, and an addresses for the two Senior Centers in Mesa:

Mesa Senior Center
247 N Mcdonald
Mesa, AZ 85201
(480) 962-5612

and

Mesa Senior Center East
7550 E Adobe Rd
Mesa, AZ 85207
(480) 218-2221

We also viewed a page for the Senior Adult Independent Living site, which leads to the Maricopa County website (where Mesa is located). This program is run by the local Area Agency on Aging, and is a not-for profit that aims to help people remain at home, by helping to provide assistance with daily living activities. The requirements are that participants need to be over 60 years old, and with an emphasis on those with the 'greatest social and economic need'. To learn more about the SAIL program for Mesa and Maricopa County, visit their website, or call (602) 264-4357.
