        "text": "Common walker-friendly home modifications focus on improving accessibility and safety. These often include widening doorways and hallways to accommodate a walker's width, installing grab bars in bathrooms and near stairs, and replacing steps with ramps or threshold ramps. Other useful modifications involve lowering countertops and light switches, installing lever-style door handles, and ensuring adequate lighting. Removing tripping hazards like loose rugs and transitioning to slip-resistant flooring materials are also key to creating a safer environment for individuals using walkers.",
