        "text": "For aging in place, flooring should prioritize safety, comfort, and ease of maintenance. Recommended options include low-pile carpet, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and non-slip tiles. Low-pile carpet offers warmth and cushioning, reducing impact from falls. LVP is durable, waterproof, and provides good traction. Non-slip ceramic or porcelain tiles are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, particularly those with a matte finish or textured surface to prevent slips. Smooth, highly polished surfaces, area rugs without proper anti-slip backing, and high-pile carpets are generally not recommended due to increased fall risk and difficulty with mobility aids.",
