I'm wondering as well how it happened that your mother ended up just renting a room when you have a house in which you care for others. It seems to me that your mother would have been a higher priority than strangers, even if you were paid for caring for them.
As others wrote, it's only your mother who can change someone designated to act under a DPOA. You actually have no rights under it if you're not so named.
I have the sense that there's more going on to the reason why your mother is renting a room in another state but now you want to bring her back. Those reasons likely need to be addressed before it would be prudent and/or safe for your mother to return, especially if she needs hospice care. Moving her in her condition might cause undue anxiety and/or trauma.
Perhaps you could just rent a room in the home in which your mother is living and stay with her until the end; it might be a lot easier on her.
Have you spoken to the main hospice nurse?
