A power of attorney does NOT have to be drawn up by an attorney. In fact, if you do have a power of attorney signed by your grandmother it will be invalid for what you want to do.

What you need is to file for Guardianship through the court so that you have control over the body of the person. A power of attorney allows you only to make legal decisions over the person, not the body.

POA is a document drawn up by a lawyer for a person who, at the time of signing, has decision making capability. This gives the POA the authority to act on behalf of the person when they can no longer make decisions for themselves. You need to consult an attorney.
If they are currently mentally incapacitated they really cannot sign a legally binding document. If you are next of kin, you may be the decision maker by default.

Hire an attorney where your Grandmother lives. He can draw up the P/A document. Try handelonthelaw.com for an attorney in her area.
