A Power of Attorney" is not something you can "get," of have "awarded" to you by an outside agency (court).
A POA can only be granted by the individual themselves, and they must be of legally sound mind when they do so, or it could be successfully challenged in court.
What it is likely is that you are asking is how to get a Guardianship granted. However since the questioner states that she is his wife, it is somewhat puzzling as to why she needs this power.
The best option would be to contact an attorney in your state who specializes in family law for a consultation.
If he is already in an assisted living home, this should have been one of the points on his admission that would be covered. The social worker on site should have brought this up on admission. If not, check with the state and make sure this place is a licensed facility. If not, you could run into all sorts of issues.
