In a significant legal development, a complaint has been filed against a healthcare facility accused of negligence and violation of care standards. The plaintiff, Yessenia Bassie, acting as the Independent Executor of the Estate of Jose Andres Iniguez, filed the lawsuit on April 4, 2025, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The defendants named in the case are Generations at Oakton Pavilion LLC and Generations Healthcare Network LLC.
The case revolves around allegations that Generations at Oakton Pavilion failed to provide adequate care to Jose Andres Iniguez during his residency from April 2023 to August 2023. According to the complaint, Iniguez was at high risk for falls due to his medical history, which included Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Despite this known risk, the facility allegedly neglected to implement necessary precautions and interventions to prevent falls. On August 12, 2023, Iniguez suffered a fall resulting in a serious femoral fracture requiring surgery.
The plaintiff accuses Generations at Oakton Pavilion of violating several provisions under the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act and other related regulations. These include failing to provide adequate supervision and assistance with daily activities such as ambulation and toileting. Furthermore, it is alleged that the facility did not conduct proper assessments or update care plans tailored to Iniguez's needs. "The staff failed to protect Jose from neglect by not providing adequate medical and personal care," states one part of the complaint.
Yessenia Bassie seeks judgment against both Generations at Oakton Pavilion LLC and Generations Healthcare Network LLC for damages exceeding $50,000 plus attorney fees and costs. The lawsuit cites statutory violations under both common law negligence and specific breaches of nursing home care statutes as grounds for relief.
The legal representation for Bassie is provided by Coogan Gallagher law firm with attorneys Caroleann S. Gallagher and James E. Coogan leading the charge. Judge Daniel O Tiernan is presiding over this case under Case ID: 2025L004665.
