CHICAGO — An estate administrator is suing Des Plaines health care providers, alleging their negligence caused her mother's death.
Corey Frechette, as administrator of the estate of Elaine Frechette, filed a lawsuit May 10 in Cook County Circuit Court against Presence Ballard Nursing Center and Holy Family Medical Center, alleging negligence in failure to properly provide medical care to the deceased.
According to the complaint, starting March 26, 2014, Elaine Frechette developed several pressure ulcers on her body that ultimately led to her death Jan. 19, 2015 at Holy Name.
