Your POAs are not in effect unless she is declared incompetent to make her own decisions. Financial may be immediate but Medical usually needs a doctor saying she is incompetent to make her own decisions.

How old is Mom?

You tell her that if and when she gets strong enough, and her health improves, that you'll ask her doctor is she can return home, knowing full well that that won't happen, but a little "fiblet"(lie) won't hurt her at this point.

Tell her that her doctors insist that she stay here for better medical treatment.
