Mom is in a nursing home. POA Sis has a responsibility to safeguard her assets, such as what is in the home. Changing locks may be a good security measure, especially if there is no telling who might have had keys to the old locks. If you have some need to be in that house, perhaps POA will go with you. But if you say, "Where is the antique mirror that used to hang in this hall?" and she says "I sold it and put the money in Mom's nursing home account." you may still have doubts.
How are you being mistreated? Apparently you suspect that POA is not using Mom's assets for Mom's needs. Is that correct? If you have any basis for your suspicion, report it to APS. But realize that APS won't be concerned about being fair to you ... but being responsible in managing Mom's affairs.
Mother had a right and a need to appoint someone to look after her affairs. She appointed your sister. Sister is not responsible to you. In the best of families, all of this is open and communication is frequent. I am sorry that is not the case for you.
