        "text": "Designing a guest house for aging parents—often called an in-law suite or granny flat—requires prioritizing accessible, single-level living and safety. Incorporate wider doorways and hallways to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs, along with slip-resistant tile flooring. In the bathroom, replace traditional tubs with zero-barrier, curbless walk-in showers featuring reinforced backing for grab bars and handheld showerheads. Lever-style door handles, rocker light switches, and single-handle faucets make daily tasks easier, while smooth transitions between rooms eliminate trip hazards.",
