Thank you in advance for your help. D Dear D, I'm interested in knowing why you are doing this. I see no objection. One possible problem might be that the changes in color may be seen as different elevations, like steps. Personally, I'm an advocate of carpeting, even in an Alzheimer's facility.
Falls are an ever-present danger and carpeting is just more forgiving.
The residents may no longer be able to put out their hands to break their falls and imagine an 8 pound bowling ball hitting the floor. But before you do, talk to me further because there are other factors to consider. Also, the current trend in designing for Alzheimer's is to create the most homelike environment possible. So perhaps breaking down the journey from color to color may have it's advantages. It may also offer some cues to where residents' rooms are located.
