You have visited, however did you physically take your wife with a Rollator into model homes? Our first 3 homes would not accommodate even a small transfer wheelchair, or a 4 point Rollator into some areas of the house, and definitely not all bathrooms.

If you are concerned about noise factor, you may move farther away from squares, turnpike, 4 lane highways, only to find that noise travels. We are 4 streets from the turnpike, inside the house, we rarely can hear the turnpike or sitting in our lanai or pool area.

But we are at least a mile to Brownwood, on some nights we can hear the band. The other thing you have to consider is houses can be only 5 to 7 feet to the lot lines. You have no control over your neighbor when they move in their entire wood shop and get to listen to the noise of woodworking. For hours at a time.

One has to think if certain walking devices are needed now, how will that impact later in life.

To this date no homes built in TV that is fully “Handicapped Accessible”. Our oldest has been scouting models, that doors can be widened, and roll in showers that would need aftermarket remodel. With the least amount of construction. So far, nothing is fitting their criteria. Sadly I don’t ever see the developer building handicap accessible homes.

We do however have site, impaired clubs, along with Parkinson’s and other special needs clubs. There are residents, who have children with disabilities and autistic children, that can thrive in TV.
I think you will find that the villages is far more accepting of people who have disabilities than anywhere else. Especially since carts can be adapted just like a car or van.

Many neighbors have groups called, helping hands, when called will come to assist neighbors.
