        "text": "Prioritizing universal design elements ensures the suite remains safe, comfortable, and functional for aging relatives over the long term. A zero-threshold walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion is a critical feature, eliminating tripping hazards associated with standard tubs. Other valuable additions include wider door frames to accommodate mobility aids, lever-style door and faucet handles, slip-resistant bathroom floor tile, and reinforced drywall blocking behind walls to securely mount grab bars. Ensuring zero-step transitions between rooms also helps maintain daily ease of movement and long-term independence.",
