        "text": "Accommodating multigenerational living requires thoughtful design focused on comfort, privacy, and long-term mobility. Prioritizing universal design elements from the start prevents costly retrofits later. In the bathroom, curbless walk-in showers with slip-resistant tile and reinforced backing for future grab bars are practical upgrades. Doorways and hallways should be planned wide enough to accommodate mobility devices comfortably. Additionally, installing a private exterior entrance alongside an interior connecting door gives aging family members independence while keeping them connected to the main household, and dedicated sound-dampening drywall ensures privacy for all generations.",
