CHICAGO — A woman who is the administrator of a deceased man's estate is suing Glenbridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre Ltd., and Glen Health and Home Management Inc. in a wrongful death suit alleging the home's personnel did not properly supervise the man, leading to his death.

Roza Edelman, as special administrator of the estate of Aaron Shniper, filed a complaint on Sept. 1 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants, alleging they failed to provide proper care and supervision to Shniper.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 7, Shniper died after falling from a fifth-floor window. The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to provide adequate supervision at all times to Shniper and allowed a window fixture to remain in a hazardous condition.

The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendants greater than $50,000. She is represented by Margaret P. Battersby Black of Levin & Perconti in Chicago.
