I think it should be "My mother is serious and has been admitted to hospital."

"My mother is serious" means that she is a serious person.

If she is ill, and her condition got her into hospital, you have to refer to her health / condition:

My mother's condition is serious...
or
My mother is seriously ill...

Doris
