        "text": "Designing for aging family members requires integrating accessible, universal design elements from the foundation and framing stages. Key structural considerations include step-free zero-threshold entries, minimum 36-inch wide doorways, and reinforced drywall blocking inside the bathroom to support future grab bar placement. Inside the bathroom, replacing a standard tub with a barrier-free walk-in shower, slip-resistant tile flooring, and comfort-height plumbing fixtures improves safety. Single-story slab construction eliminates interior elevation changes, while open-concept living and kitchen areas ensure clear movement paths for walkers or wheelchairs without compromising the cottage's architectural appeal.",
