Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we do not publish a grade for that facility: either its public record is too thin to be fair, or we hold nothing for it at all.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in violations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Regulatory visits tied to complaints or allegations in the state file—not the same as every routine survey.
Total count of violations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of violations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total violations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.

Overview of Promenade at Tuxedo Place

Promenade at Tuxedo Place offers assisted living and independent living in Tuxedo Park, NY. Assisted living includes help with daily activities and medication assistance, while independent living provides a private residence with community services for residents who do not need daily care. Having both care levels may suit someone whose needs grow over time, because a resident may be able to move to a different level of care within the community. The community has 89 beds.

Residents can choose a suite with one bed or a private room, so each person has a single living space rather than sharing a suite. Tamara Singer is the director, and Promenade Tuxedo operates the community. An internist, podiatrist, and therapists are available on site, giving residents access to those providers within the community. Rehabilitation services are also available for therapy needs.

Meals are served in a restaurant style in the dining room. Outdoor decks and natural walkways offer places to spend time outside, while wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in moving through the community. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover.

A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need that transportation to run errands independently.
