Sounds like it is time to get the courts involved or maybe the (mom) can change over the power of attorney but I think either way these are all legal issues.
It would be better to do everything legally and documented so that the best interest of the mother is taken care of without the drama that can be brought on by family once it is decided legally then it can be enforced.
Hope it all works out in the best interest of all involved especially the (mom)

She needs help NOW.
You need to call the county human services and get her some help. You could call the local United Way agencies to get a referral to the right one. Get the experts involved.
