CHICAGO — An administrator of a deceased man's estate is suing South Loop Living & Rehab Center LLC, South Loop Skilled Nursing Facility LLC, Warren Barr South Loop, St. Agnes Manor Inc. and St. Agnes Health Care and Rehab Center in a wrongful death suit alleging negligence in nursing home care.
Kimberly Johnson, as independent administrator of the estate of Richard Miller, filed a complaint on July 12, in the Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants alleging that they failed to provide proper care to Miller while he was a resident in their facility.
