My mom was living with my sister and the situation became very dysfunctional, my mom ended up in the ED with elevated BP and then wanted out of the home. Sister also did not want her there after living with her 5 months and was going to drive 13 hours and drop her off at my home. I was able to contact am assisted living facility for her to go to for 30 days but she will need to be placed in a different facility as she will be out of money. She wants to move back close to me but I cannot have her move in. I am also not her POA. Any suggestions?

This should be discussed between your Mom, the facility, and whomever IS her POA if she has one, or by whomever has her records, and etc (I assume the sister). If you do not wish to be POA I would not intervene in these choices in any way lest you get roped into something; that will just end in confusion.
If sister tells you again that she will drive your mother to your house tell her that you will report her for elder abuse to APS, and will allow the law to deal with her. Your sister well may be unwilling to have your mother back into her home, but that is where she took her, and she cannot simply take care of her problems NOW by putting your Mother on your doorstep. Her residence, has, in fact, become your mother's residence. If she wishes to evict her from her home she will have to do it legally.
