My father came back to the hospice facility tonight. My mother told them that I am not allowed to see my father because we don't get along has nothing to do with me caring for my father or anything other than that. I want to know what my rights under Florida State and my father's rights in her Florida State. She has medical power of attorney and that's all she's waving in front of everybody's face. And I do not want my father to die without me by his side I want to be here. On a side note my mother is schizophrenic and bipolar I don't think she's able to take care of herself let alone my father she had him in a nursing home where he was being abused and I had a heck of a time getting him out of there and getting him back home on to what she just flung him back over to this hospice facility on these are his last days and I would like to be with him any help would be greatly appreciated.

If ur mom is mentally ill, she does not need to be making medical or any other decisions for your father. If u cannot appeal to her, ask hospice social worker or chaplain to try and if all else fails you may need to seek guardianship of your father based on it mother's mental health.
I would avoid that for your father's sake.
Praying for u to be able to see your father before he passes and to hopefully get this resolved without court interference which could come too late

I'd go for emergency guardianship based on her mental illness and his health.

Is you’re father coherent and able to make HIS choices? He should not have to be deprived of your presence just because your mentality unstable mother medical has POA. She cannot legally prevent you from visiting. Medical POA is nothing more than a document that gives her the authority to make decisions about his medical care when he is unable to speak for himself.

She does not have the legal right nor the soundness of mind to do what she's doing. Is she taking her meds or can you tell from just how she behaves?

No she is not of sound mind. She is cycling again. Her thinking is irrational and is focusing on stuff some that never happened. Since I am close to my father it angers her and she wants to keep us apart.

If your Dad is competent he can OK that you see him. POA would not have any say.

Laws, not sure of but we do have some Fla people.
