A Dutchess County man says the home health aides he hired to care for his ailing father did more harm than good. AliBaumanTV investigated the claims and has advice for families seeking care for their aging relatives.
CBS2's Ali Bauman investigates the claims and has advice for families seeking care for their aging relatives.In 2020, he took his elderly father in to his Dutchess County home. But as 93-year-old Henry Zahn's dementia progressed, Thomas Zahn could not care for him alone.Through his father's health insurance company, Fidelis Care, Thomas Zahn found Genesa Home and Companionship Agency in the fall of 2020.
"In picking up the person, if you're not really, really trained well, you can not only hurt yourself but hurt them more," Drelich said."What the aide often does is they take a picture of the bruise," Schwartzman said. "It was almost like his tether, like his leash, so he wouldn't go walking around. And that didn't stop him. It just made it so much worse," Thomas Zahn said.
"The insurance company actually admitted to my client, Mr. Zahn, that this agency that they hired wasn't even properly certified," attorney Dana Stricker said. "The infections lead to the antibiotics not working anymore and that's how he ended up dying of sepsis," Thomas Zahn said.
