Numb Feet

Your home was designed for someone who can feel their feet.

That’s not a criticism of your house — it’s true of essentially every home. The floor surfaces, the lighting, the water temperature, the thresholds between rooms all assume a person receiving accurate sensory information from the ground up. When that information degrades, the same house becomes a different environment. Nothing has changed except your ability to detect what’s happening in it. So here’s a walk through, room by room. Not a general safety lecture — the specific things that matter when sensation is reduced.
