New research from Arizona State University shows that what might be considered an afterthought — lighting — could actually help people with dementia. In fact, making adjustments to light during the day can help improve both the mood and nightly sleep for older adults with dementia.
In 2025, both Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) and Arizona Public Service Company (APS) filed new rate cases with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). These filings mark the beginning of a process that will directly impact what Arizonans pay for electricity in the coming years.
Arizona residents who are APS customers have options to help pay their energy bills. Assistance programs are available for qualifying customers, including discounts, one-time assistance during a crisis, and even programs for residents who rely on electricity to keep necessary medical equipment working.
AARP Arizona is providing information and resources about COVID-19 to help older Arizonans, and their families protect themselves from the virus and prevent it from spreading to others.
