Question

work and they keep denying me. What can I do to proceed? Thank you.

Answer

What reason have they given you? Was there any allegation/suspicion of mistreatment of your Mom at the nursing home? Unfortunately, in my experience a complaint to the Health Dept. takes months and months for a response, and even then you might find yourself back to square one. A lawyer's request citing the applicable law may be what it takes to pry these records from them.
