Unhelpful staff during family medical crisis

Securing assistance for my elderly mother proved to be an immense challenge a few years back when she was hospitalized. Two nurse home visits had supposedly declared her well, but after a friend's visit, she collapsed and was urgently admitted to Yeovil Hospital. Upon personally visiting the surgery to discuss the matter, I encountered a staff member who was extremely discourteous. Being non-local, I couldn't return to follow up, so I ultimately collaborated constructively with Yeovil Hospital to facilitate her homecoming. Currently (Dec 2021), I find myself in a comparable predicament with my mother back in the hospital. I'm deeply anxious about attempting to contact the surgery again for support. As a result, I'm exploring alternative medical practices, given that she lacks internet access and cannot successfully communicate with anyone.

Dear Ms Stirling, I am sorry you experienced difficulty in 2019. Home visits by nurses are done by the community nursing team who are part of Somerset Partnerships/Somerset Foundation Trust. However, if there is anything at all that I can do to help you at the moment regarding your mother's care, please do not hesitate to contact me at the surgery. Kind regards, Louise Walker, Practice Manager
