Vatican Museums for the disabled

[Karen P]

I am asking about visits to the Vatican Museums for someone who cannot walk long distance or climb many stairs. I searched the Italy forums and didn't see anything and there is nothing specific on the Vatican Museum website. Are there any accommodations? Wheelchairs or scooters? Availability of elevators? He uses "sticks" and I have said to assume they are not allowed inside. Does anyone have any recent experience with this? What about a group tour guide who can give pertinent advice? As always, appreciate your replies. Thanks.

PS. I found the following with Google, not by searching within the Museum website:

Still, your experiences would be helpful.
