How long is a nursing home in PA required to keep a person's records after they become deceased?

My grandmother was neglected by the nursing home she lived in. My parents were too upset to do anything about it, this was 9 years ago and now that I'm of age, I would love to file a suit.

Because of the passage of the 9 years, it is likely that the statute of limitations has run on any claim that you might have had. I suggest that you confer with an attorney who has significant experience with nursing home negligence claims. They will be able to review the facts of the case and determine if a case can still be made at this time.
