        "text": "When designing a multigenerational home, especially with elders or those with mobility challenges in mind, accessibility features are crucial. Consider zero-step entries, wider doorways (at least 36 inches), and hallways to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers. Bathrooms should include roll-in showers, grab bars, and accessible vanity heights. Other features like lever-style door handles, lower light switches, higher electrical outlets, and non-slip flooring can significantly improve safety and independence. Planning for these elements during the design phase is more efficient and cost-effective than retrofitting later.",
