I care for my elderly father in my home, he is on O2 around the clock. Is there a program out there to help cover the electric bill?

St. Vincent dePaul will help with electric bills.

Let the electric company know. They usually have waivers for houses that use oxygen tanks and concentrator that plug into the wall.

Also, ask the company you rent the 02 tanks from (or concentrator) to give you a sign for your front door stating there is someone in the house using oxygen. Very important for fire and rescue crews to know.
I'd call the electric company and explain your situation. If they can't help, maybe they can refer you.

you can ask the electric company about low income rates, also have them mart the account that there is person on life sustaining equipment if he is using a oxygen concentrator and other life saying devices this prevent it so he can not be shut off and if there is a power outage he is the a high priority address also talk to the fire department see if they have loaner generators... So i digressed.. Ask the red cross, st vinsent depaul or call you 211 service
