If your mom has the money, get her checkbook, get a check written out and have your mom sign it.  If your mom is competent, you might want to consider having her sign a new POA for you.   If she does not have the funds, you might need to consider a reverse mortgage to get access the equity in her home and allow her to stay there.  You should check her finances to be sure that the POA is spending her funds properly.
