Whenever I get power turned on at a new place I have to tell them that I am medically dependent on power so that we are a priority for getting power restored.
I should try that for my mom.
It got to be very stressful for her.
Assuming it's something like an O2 tank or a CPAP, why not get a small UPS for the bedroom? Eaton 5s1500 for $200 shipped from Amazon. Should last at least 30 mins if not hours.
Even just to protect the gear and lengthen its service life.

If I just used it to power her bed and recharge the wheelchair, that would probably work well. Then just unplug it and hope the battery stays charged.
The last time, it was the cold that really got us. We ended up buying a space heater to keep her warm. We just huddled under a million blankets.

I certainly would not recharge a wheelchair or power a bed through a cheap UPS, you'll probably burn that thing out. The batteries in a wheelchair are probably 5x+ than the 1500 UPS would be.

True.
Assuming you mean WOULDN'T.
