The POA carries out the wishes for the patient who cannot get things done. The paperwork for POA states whether it is immediate or only in case of xxxx, and what events terminate the POA. So if you have POA and grandma does not want to go to a nursing home, you can't send her there. In that case you pursue Guardianship in court.
