NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric Schneiderman today
announced a comprehensive settlement with the Allure Group to revitalize
the Greater Harlem Nursing Home and replace healthcare gaps in Brooklyn
and the Lower East Side. The agreement results from the Attorney
General’s investigations into the closings of two nursing homes,
Rivington House - The Nicholas A. Rango Health Care Facility on the
Lower East Side, and the CABS Nursing Home in Brooklyn. As part of the
settlement, the Attorney General required new measures to fully reform
the processes that led to the closure of Rivington House and CABS
Nursing Home. Allure will also pay $750,000 in penalties and costs to
the State, in addition to $1.25 million to Lower East Side healthcare
non-profits.
“The processes that led to the closure of Rivington House and
CABS never should have happened – this settlement ensures they won’t
happen again, while addressing critical healthcare gaps in the impacted
communities,” said Attorney General Schneiderman.
“We’re requiring Allure to open new healthcare facilities in Brooklyn
and the Lower East Side, and make major improvements to its Harlem
facility, while also providing $1.25 million to non-profits serving
vulnerable New Yorkers.”
The settlement resolves an investigation by the Attorney
General’s office into the closure of two facilities that had been sold
by non-profit nursing home operators to the Allure Group and its
principals, who own and manage a group of nursing homes in New York
City. In each case, the facilities were closed shortly thereafter with
minimal notice to the affected communities. While such closures were
taking place, the Allure Group was managing the Greater Harlem Nursing
Home as a Receiver; the non-profit owner of the Greater Harlem Nursing
Home is now petitioning the Court to sell its facility to Allure-related
companies.

Bob Dylan sings " Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you a king." This decision is absolutely horrible. It strengthens the fact that elder lives are cheap and dispensible. The AG is a lowlife but he still will be our future governor. God has totally abandoned our elders. He has left them in the hands of dirty, disgusting trash like JOEL LANDAU. The holocaust is here staring into our face, yet no one sees it.
