It should if it is drafted and executed correctly. Administrator will probably want an original DPOA, unless you can get them to accept a copy.

If the parent needs protection to avoid others taking advantage, the best course is a conservatorship. The conservatorship will supplant any powers of attorney and provide additional powers to the conservator. Otherwise, you can litigate to invalidate any new DPOAs on the basis of incapacity.

Is a Power of Attorney the appropriate and ethical way to do this or is obtaining guardianship more appropriate?

A properly signed Healthcare Power of Attorney grants you the right to place someone in a nursing home.
The person signing it granted you that power.
He's 79 his wife has had poa for the past few years altho they've not lived together for the past 15 years. He no longer wishes for her to have poa so I'm wondering how does he change it

answered on Jan 9, 2023
He Revokes the POA in writing under a Notary. Execute about 3 originals. Send one to the attorney in fact, and record one in the County he may have property. If there is a Bank involved, deliver one to it first.

Generally, a DPOA that is valid when executed (in any state) will remain valid even if you move to another state; however, it is still a good idea to execute a DPOA in the new state. Typically a DPOA is for financial decisions, not medical.
