MARK OF EXCELLENCE
Dr. Rekha Bhandari is driving
quality care higher and making
an extraordinary impact on
New York’s senior community.
A skilled physician and Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Bhandari is Chief Medical
Offi cer at The Allure Group. Dr. Bhandari joined The Allure Group in 2013. She is board
certifi ed in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine. In 2016, she was
awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for her lifelong dedication to bettering the
lives and health of New York’s elderly. She has also spoken at the United Nations as
a keynote speaker on the subject of aging and intergenerational gaps.
“My job with Allure is focused on not just overseeing physicians. I am involved in
implementation of policy/protocol on various medical managements. The ultimate
goal is to avoid hospitalization, improve quality of care and ensure better patient
outcome. It is also more of tweaking and improving and leaving my own mark of
high quality care,” says Dr. Bhandari.
Dr. Bhandari is making great strides for New York City’s
seniors. She helped develop a cardiac protocol called
Hearts in Motion, a nationally recognized program with
outstanding results. The protocol remotely monitors
congestive heart failure patients in nursing facilities,
using automated alerts to notify cardiologists of
signifi cant changes in the patients’ health. It has
dramatically reduced hospital readmissions, while also
improving patient outcomes and keeping costs down.
Dr. Bhandari has also been instrumental in implementing many of The Allure Group’s
specialty programs such as Minds in Motion Neurological Rehabilitation, Early
Sense (risk prevention platform), and Joints in Motion Orthopedic Rehabilitation.
The Allure Group is among a few nursing and rehabilitation healthcare providers
to offer culturally sensitive programming, including:
• Longevity Garden (Asian Program) at Hamilton Park
and Bedford Center
• Jewish Traditions at Bedford Center and King David
Center
• Romashka Gardens (Russian Program) at King David
Center
• Salud Latina (Spanish Program) at Crown Heights
