I am confused. You say a "son" overrode a POA and then a grandson placed her in a facility.
No one can override a POA. If Mom assigned son she has to revoke him and assign a new person. A POA cannot be transferred from one person to another.
I agree, to place Mom in an AL there had to be a reason. You sound like they are jails. They can be very nice. Some people like the socialization, activities and outings. And then there is the help they provide. They have hairdresser's. A Nurse on duty.
Have u talked to MIL? Is she unhappy. If she is competent and can make informed decisions she can go where she wants. Unless immediate her POA is not in effect until she is found incompetent.
Have you seen the actual POA document? Does it provide for joint or successive authority? What were the mother's living conditions, and with whom, before she was placed?
Importantly, and very much so beyond the legal issues of authority, is who signed the admittance papers, and who will be paying for the costs? Is your grandson paying?
Do you have the physical capacity to care for her? And have you been doing so, or was the grandson more involved?
Your profiles says she lives in another state than you. It is totally possible that you are not aware of her inabilities to be cared for in her home properly. You would need to pursue guardianship through the courts to gain control and act in her own best interests, and not just what you want. Perhaps you should go to visit her in person for a few days to get a better read on what's actually going on? I also do wonder why the grandson and not the son has the PoA. There maybe is more to this story than is being posted?

This does not make sense.
