If you are considering a place in Tennessee, I recommend Tellico Village. I believe it to be far superior to Fairfield Glade in Crossville. It is larger, with more amenities, on a bigger and cleaner lake, with built in social and support networks such as activities, recreation and wellness centers. It also has a daytime respite place for caretakers (if your spouse requires constant care from, say, Parkinson's, they will watch him during the day so you can run errands, etc.) and even a group of volunteers focused on helping you age well here. They will fix small things, pick up your prescriptions, change your smoke alarm batteries, etc.
It is long established, financially well off, convenient to shopping, and is much closer to larger amenities (cities, hospitals, etc) than is fairly small and remote Crossville, in my opinion. Crossville is good for one thing: Golf. That being said, Tellico Village has three 18-hole courses, two country-club club houses and a yacht club on the lake.
Best of luck on your search and decision.
