NSW Keeping grandfather in nursing home

[m1ssjess89]

Currently my grandfather has stage 1 dementia. He is in a nursing home having respite whilst my parents build a granny flat for my grandmother and grandfather to move into. He will be able to have home care etc. I have just learnt that my mother is trying to seek legal action to keep him in the nursing home. She is power of attorney over him.

Is there any way legally that I can contest her keeping him in there? I feel he shouldn't be put into a nursing home. He certainly does not want it!
