My understanding on POA's in CA (same as in FL), to make the POA valid it must be either witnessed by two attesting witnesses or notarized by a notary public. However, if the POA has both witnesses and is notarize, it would not make the instrument invalid.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.)

| I know this conversation is old, but in CA, a POA document is either witnessed by two people OR notarized....not both. |

Also a good idea to check ahead of time about the ID. Often folks in hospitals, etc. - don't have "notary useable" ID with them. Ask prior to your appointment about the photo ID issue of all sigs you will notarize.

They provide the completed POA form...go see Mom and determine if you feel she's cognizant of what she's doing...make sure she's "with it", of sound mind and that signing this POA is her free act and she's not being coerced....make sure you have the appropriate number of witnesses required in your state, have her sign it and that's it...
You might also want to clear it with the convalescent home as to the best time of day to do this and their procedure.
One thing - I'd try to get a few minutes alone with Mom if possible... so your determination is made without any possibility of coercion on the son/daughter's part. JMHO
Good Luck!!
