Sadly if she is no longer mentally competent to make decisions she cannot make or revise a will, or any other legal document. You best also make sure your power of attorney is a "durable" power of attorney. A standard POA only carries the authority to do what the grantor of the power could do. Once the grantor becomes incapable, the POA is no longer effective.
