No. The life estate belongs to her as long as she is alive. If she granted a power of attorney and it is still valid, the attorney in fact could consent to a sale of the real estate or release the life estate. If there is no valid POA and the individual is not of sound mind, a petition to sell the real estate free of the life estate could be brought before the probate court.
A life estate means that someone else gets the property at her death. Who gets the property on her death? They can only sell it subject to the life estate, which reduces the value to the buyer.

Who pays nursing home when you die?
Normally any debts a person has when they die (such as outstanding fees to a nursing home) are paid out of the estate of the deceased person. If there is not enough money in the estate to meet all the debts then the people owed money get only a share of what there is. Relatives do not have to make up the difference unless THEY told the nursing home THEY would pay the nursing home costs (and signed a contract to this effect).

Can an elderly person sign their self out of nursing homw?
The bottom line is "yes, with some exceptions." If they couldn't, it would open the nursing home up to charges of false imprisonment and/or kidnapping. Now, if the person is mentally or physically incapable of caring for themselves and/or they're "a danger to the community," it's a different story, and such people may well be under restrictions. But a person who is simply old but otherwise in reasonable physical and mental health and who happens to live in a "nursing home" can leave any time they choose, with or without "signing themselves out" (the "signing out" procedure is probably part of a contract with the nursing home, but failing to do it means the worst that happens to you is that the nursing home tells you you're no longer welcome there and will need to find a new place to live ... it's not actually illegal to leave without telling them).
