        "text": "Aging in place often involves adapting the home for safety and accessibility. Common modifications include installing grab bars in bathrooms, widening doorways for wheelchair access, adding ramps or stairlifts, and improving lighting, especially in hallways and stairwells. Other helpful changes can be lowering countertops, installing easy-to-use lever handles on doors, and ensuring non-slip flooring. These modifications aim to reduce the risk of falls and make daily activities easier and more independent for seniors.",
