HOUSTON – A Harris County medical facility is alleged to have breached the standard of care regarding a former patient.

Charles Harrell, et al., as representatives of the estate of Carlee Muldrow, deceased filed a complaint on Feb. 21 in the Harris County District Court against Cypress Care LP, doing business as Grace Care Center of Cypress, alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that during Carlee Muldrow's residency at defendant's facility in 2016, she suffered unstageable pressure ulcers and deep tissue injuries.
