  4. My mom is 92 and has just begun to need O2, mainly at 2 liters. She is going to be discharged from a Rehab Center and going back to her Assisted Living facility. She is very participative during the day–not strenous, etc., bingo, crafts, helping with cooking. What type of system would work well for her. She has congestive heart disease and a heart valve issue. The manager of her facility is asking what are we going to do for a back-up system in case they lose power. I am not aware of the validity of her concern.
