Overview of The Preserve at Fairfield Glade

The Preserve at Fairfield Glade is a 99-bed senior living community in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee, offering independent living, assisted living, and long-term care services under one roof. Located in one of Tennessee’s best-known resort-style retirement areas near Crossville, the community has operated for approximately 14 years and is owned by Fairfield Glade of Tennessee, LLC.

Licensed through the Tennessee Department of Health, Division of Health Care Facilities, the community’s most recent state inspection took place in February 2024. The community has undergone a total of five health inspections, which accumulated 18 citations. Both are relatively higher than the state average.

The community is designed around a continuum-of-care model, allowing residents to transition between levels of support as needs evolve while remaining within the same familiar environment. Services include rehabilitation therapy, short-term recovery support, respite care, and ongoing long-term care assistance, supported by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants on staff. Restaurant-style dining, wellness and fitness programming, and shared gathering spaces are also provided.

One of the community’s more distinctive advantages is its location within the Fairfield Glade resort area, where residents may enjoy access to local golf courses and recreational opportunities that are uncommon in many traditional senior living settings. While the area itself is relatively car-dependent, scheduled transportation services and extensive on-campus amenities help residents remain active and connected without needing to travel frequently.

With its continuum-of-care structure, established operating history, and resort-style atmosphere, The Preserve at Fairfield Glade is well-suited for older adults seeking a retirement-focused lifestyle that blends wellness, recreation, and long-term care planning within a scenic Tennessee setting.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.

Rank #14 / 192Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 14th out of 192 homes in Tennessee. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Tennessee average, with a ranking across 192 Tennessee facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Rankings are based only on facilities in Tennessee that report data for that category.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 47m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 54m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 1h 56m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 17m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 7m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 31m per day
