Legal Question in Elder Law in Pennsylvania

I am 83 yrs old & my daughter has power of attorney. she wants to put me in a nursing home. i occasionally have lapses in memory, much of which was caused by taking too much medicine that was depleating my sodium level. the medicine has been adjusted & i have improved. my other daughter and i feel that i can live own my own, possibly with some home care assistance. does she have the legal right to put me in a home without my consent due to her power of attorney?
