        "text": "When planning a granny flat for older adults, prioritizing universal design ensures the space remains safe and functional over time. Essential upgrades include zero-threshold walk-in showers with grab-bar reinforcement, non-slip flooring, and wider doorways to accommodate mobility devices. In the kitchen, lower countertops, pull-out cabinet shelves, and easy-to-reach appliances reduce strain. Single-story layouts without interior steps prevent fall risks. Discussing accessibility preferences during initial design prevents costly retrofits later, ensuring the suite accommodates changing physical needs comfortably.",
