Will I lose Power of Attorney on my loved one if I put them in a nursing home?

I was told that if I did it would be as if the state took over, I wouldn’t have say so as to what medications were given to my loved one etc. Is this true? Please give links to the facts instead of just opinions, this would be so much appreciated. Thanks!
