FYI. Tripping is the number 1 safety hazard for elderly people in their homes. A family member is a physical therapist in a large rehab center. He said the vast majority of their patients are elderly who tripped on rugs in their homes. They advise older folks to remove EVERY rug from their homes! Carpet isn't a problem as long as it is properly fastened to the sub floor. Just something to consider.
