Any feedback from people that have hardwood would be appreciated. If this is a valid concern, we will end up switching to tile. Thanks.

We didn't buy new, so don't know what your options are, but we just closed on a pre-owned and are having the carpet replaced with vinyl planking (looks like hardwood, but softer and doesn't have the "click" of laminate as we have two dogs) and going with a vinyl tile (warmer than real tile) in the kitchen, foyer and bathrooms. We didn't ask specifically about being slippery, but they are aware MIL is coming and that she uses a walker.
Any flooring store near you should be able to show you samples of both. Go with Armstrong if you can, but not a big difference in brands. Since you won't be buying from them, they may give you an honest opinion!
