CHICAGO — A resident is suing Glencrest Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre Ltd., claiming permanent injuries after a fall.
Juan Romero filed a complaint on Aug. 10 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging the rehabilitation and care facility breached the professional standard of care and treatment.
