The hospital may also be a source of information on where you can get forms. The POA is an actual legal document. You could try to 'google' for free forms. You may want to think about a general POA so you can handle her finances, also, in case she becomes totally incapacitated. It makes a big difference in handling her affairs - without those papers, it makes it a lot harder to handle her affairs for her, including paying her bills and making decisions. Don't wait - get it done now just in case things get worse. Good luck and best wishes.
