        "text": "ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance primarily applies to public accommodations and commercial facilities, setting strict federal standards for accessibility. While barrier-free modifications in a private residence often draw inspiration from ADA guidelines, they are typically tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner, rather than needing to meet every single ADA public access standard. Private homes are not legally required to be ADA compliant, but incorporating barrier-free principles significantly enhances safety and independence. City Dweller, LLC focuses on practical, personalized solutions for home accessibility.",
