Shocking videos show the callous treatment of at-home health aides towards a 93-year-old man who was tied to his bed with his catheter then ignored while he writhed in pain on the floor after falling, six months before dying of sepsis.
The footage was exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com along with photos of the elderly man's injuries, which included broken ribs and grazes to his knees and back.
It shows Henry Zahn struggling to walk while tethered to his bed with a catheter in February 2021 - a month before he died - while the aide who was meant to look after him lay in a reclining chair watching TV.
