Toccara Stringfellow, as independent administrator of the estate of James Stringfellow, filed a complaint on Sept. 27 in Cook County Circuit Court against Glenshire Nursing & Rehab Center; and Oak Lawn Respiratory & Rehab, alleging, in 2014,  while a resident at the facility, Stringfellow allegedly developed multiple pressure ulcers, all of which worsened in condition.
