There is a solution. As some of you know I am ill with MS. So I rang the gas company and electric company I use and asked them to place me on their care package. This means that I no longer have to hoist a wheelchair out from underneath the stairs and spend an hour getting into the cupboard and another hour getting out
I now have a nice young man with a lovely bottom! that comes to do it for me. Maybe it would be worth ringing your electricity suppliers and asking for your mum to be put on their care list ? They are then obliged to come and read the meter for her and they are also obliged to treat any incident that causes power failure as urgent. Just a thought
