Never do carpet for elderly. If budget is tight, do vinyl but avoid carpet. Walkers or wheel chairs are very difficult to handle for seniors too.

I agree that carpet is a poor choice, do vinyl plank easier to move around on with a walker and also much easier to keep clean.

Hi, she doesn't use walker or a cane yet. She prefers carpet and the idea was also (not sure if correct) if she ever fell -softer landing.

Do vinyl and get a nice rug. Then when she needs mobility aids, you roll up rug and done. My hubby recently fell and broke 4 bones (not toes) in right foot. Trust me. Anything with wheels even on rugs is really hard and he is in great physical shape.

Good idea thanks!
