My DH was diagnosed with PPMS in April '10 and has subsequently progressed from a cane to a walker. In view of the possibility of his mobility worsening, we are currently in the process of having an accessible custom home built.
We want wood flooring in the living areas and have found some beautiful samples of handscrapped hardwood. I was wondering if handscraped flooring would cause problems with maneuvering in a walker or wheelchair. I have located accessibility guidelines on carpets and tile flooring, but nothing to date on wood flooring.
Thanks!
