If you are talking about a Power of Attorney (POA), it depends on how it is written. Immediate means as soon as the the principle (would be grandma) signs the document. Springing means the principle has to have a doctor declare them incompetent to handle their affairs.

To place someone in a Nursing Home (NH) the person needs to fit certain criteria. One being they need 24/7 care and there is no one willing to give it. Does grandmom have a Dementia?

No, a POA does not give the person the right to cut off family. If a family member upsets the principle or makes a ruckess when visiting, then yes the POA can cut them off. Its in the best interest of the principle. If grandmom is saying she wants to see family the POA does not have the right to say otherwise. Being a POA is not a power trip. Its a tool to be used when a principle is no longer able to make informed decisions.
