Have you talked to your fiance?

Does he know that you are being kept away?

He needs to know or he will be believing that you abandoned him in his hour of need. I would get word to him and ask him to tell the nursing home that he wants you there. The POA is only whilst he cannot make his wishes known and is not of a sound mind. Sounds like he no longer needs anyone talking on his behalf if he is awake and alert.

That would be my 1st step.

No she wasn't. Given POA while your fiancé was in a coma, that is. Not possible. Power of attorney can only be given by a person who is a consenting adult and, importantly, as a bare minimum, fully conscious.

So I don't know what the situation is but I do know it's not that.

How long is it since your fiancé recovered from his coma?

Countrymouse, it’s shocking to me to read so much misinformation about POAs and how they work. Thank you for educating here.
Seems to me principle doesn’t want contact, but who knows.

This circumstance has come up recently in another thread. Depending upon the wording of the POA document, technically yes, she does have the power. But very likely the document wording also states the POA is to act on the best interest of the designee, your fiancé.

Isolating a person just because a POA says so may be not acting in his best interest. For instance, if you were abusive and the daughter knew it, the daughter's actions make sense. If the daughter is refusing you just because she can, "they don't like me" [who is "they" and how does that matter?], then I'd notify Social Services or Department of Aging and file a complaint. Have them find out why the daughter's isolating her father and how that's in his best interest.
