I agree that people do not expect thresholds and different floor levels on the same floor in a home. Some of my grandparents lived with my family as I grew up so needs of older people were evident to me. Then, I looked after my mother and an aunt for 13 years. Now, I am as old as my grandparents were when I thought them to be very old.

Thresholds and 1/2 inch difference in floors might not bother you now, but that time can come at any moment. If not in your immediate family, you might need to care for an older person who would have a problem.

Just my thoughts, having cared for several elderly before becoming one.

Best of luck.
