She needs to talk to the osteomyelitis nurse and if she can't offer anything she needs to find a different one. A good ostomy/wound nurse has several different things to try to help with the irritation.
You aren't a failure, ostomy' scan be tricky.....

Yes, definitely talk to the nurse again. There are lots of products available to help. I used to use a flexible adhesive ring around my stoma underneath the bag.
Also, you probably don't need to change it every day. I know it's tempting to try and keep it 'clean' but I used to change mine every other day. On the alternate days I would just rinse the bag out with some warm water.
Good luck. I had mine for 2 years and had it reversed 4 years ago; I still dream that I have one. Crazy things but it saved my life. You are very good to do this for your mum.

Also, you can get an adhesive removal spray which you spray under the sticky panel and it dissolves the adhesive. Makes it MUCH easier to get the pouch off.
