Re: My mothers nursing Home & Medical Records

You are going to have to open up some kind of legal action, e.g. a lawsuit or a probate in order to subpoena the records. I guess the next question is - why can't I get my mother's records? Because she did not authorize you to have her records either while she was alive or after she passed away. Good Luck.
