The footage was taken exclusively by DailyMail.com along with photos of the elderly man’s injuries, which included broken ribs and grazing on his knees and back.
He shows Henry Zahn struggling to walk while tied to his bed with a catheter in February 2021 – a month before he died – while the caregiver was lying in a reclining chair watching TV. Henry died in March 2021 after six months in the care of assistants at the home of his son Thomas in Holmes, New York.
In the February incident, the catheter was eventually removed from him, causing him to fall.
The assistant then pulled him to his feet and pushed him back onto the bed, pushing him into a supine position without checking for injuries.
In another clip, shot on November 28, 2020, Henry appears to be staggering around the apartment while his shift assistant was talking.
A male assistant, who according to the family was not even going to work, was lying on the couch watching TV with his feet up.
In scary footage provided on DailyMail.com, Henry Zahn appears lying on the floor after falling into his house, while his caregiver is in a chair next to him, doing nothing to help. The 93-year-old died of sepsis in March after suffering recurrent infections that his family says were due to the removal of his catheter.
The caregiver had watched Henry pass by with his catheter attached to the bed. The family says Henry was tied up “like an animal” to make life easier for caregivers
Elsewhere, Henry appears to be falling at 1.32 p.m. after breaking the catheter that connects him to his bed. His caregiver is sitting on the recline
The caregiver got up to help Henry, pushed him back onto his bed (right) and re-inserted his catheter, hitting him in the leg.
Henry died in March 2021. He was admitted to the hospital shortly before his death. His family says it was a “parody” that he did not receive better care

The female assistant was sitting in a chair in the kitchen. She nodded at Henry and then handed him a bag of chips before returning to the TV. Then it made sense for him to go back to bed.
He fell on the road, hitting a hard wooden chair before landing on the ground. The male who was there did not bother to stand on his feet for several seconds.
He then pushed both his hands under Henry’s armpits and lifted him, without checking whether he was injured on the floor, and put him in a chair.
Henry died in March 2021, just six months after assistants began caring for him in the basement of his son’s White Plains home in New York.
Now his family is suing the Genesa Home and Companionship Agency and Fidelis Insurance.
Fidelis was Henry’s son’s insurance company and it was through these that he said caretakers Genesa Home and Agency provided “24/7 care” to his father.
Instead, he says he was not told when his father injured himself and often did nothing while he was in pain.
In one case, he says he had to go down because he heard his father screaming in pain. He found the caregiver next to him, doing nothing.
The Zahn family blames Genesa for his death, claiming that Henry died of a rot caused by an infection after the catheter in his leg was cut several times. They say he tore it only because the assistants wrapped it around his bed to prevent him from wandering.

The family says his caregivers never reported his injuries.
The family says they have no evidence that Henry’s treatment by his domestic helpers contributed to his death, but that they were shocked by it.
As soon as they examined the plans taken in the basement that transported Henry to the hospital, they learned their extent.
“This is a travesty and can happen to anyone’s parent or family member. It can happen to any of us.
The reason it is so important now is that more people are choosing home care because of COVID.
“This is a current concern.”
He said the family “absolutely” believed that Henry would still be alive if it were not for the infections he suffered as a result of the catheter removal.
“They threw him at least 3 times, they had four broken ribs, they broke his catheter.
He died of rot. The quality of the last months of his life. Can you imagine?
“Alone down there and no one is helping?
“He was tied to his bed like an animal. “I would not do it to any animal.”
Genesa’s lawyers did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s inquiries Monday morning.
Henry’s injuries included four fractures, cuts and scratches on his legs and infections from the catheter that was removed, his family said.
