        "text": "Prioritizing universal design ensures an in-law addition remains comfortable, safe, and functional for aging parents over time. A core improvement is zero-threshold or low-barrier walk-in showers with slip-resistant tile and reinforced backing for grab bars. Doorways and hallways should be planned wide enough to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs without turning restrictions. Level flooring transitions prevent trip hazards between rooms. You should also consider lever-style door handles, rocker light switches placed at accessible heights, comfort-height toilets, and ample natural and recessed lighting to assist family members with reduced mobility or vision.",
