Assuming your daughter is handicapped beyond her ability to make rational decisions, then she cannot issue you a power of attorney. You should see your local probate court about establishing a guardianship. You are fortunate to have made it to your daughter's 42nd birthday without the need for a guardianship. You may qualify for help from your local legal aid office. If I knew where you lived, I could refer you to an agency that could assist you with obtaining a guardianship.
