Hardwood to Tile Threshold

I apologize for posting something on-topic but I actually do have a home repair question: how do I handle the transition between an old red oak hardwood floor and newly-laid porcelain tile. I worked really hard to get the floor levels to come out even after I had to jackhammer out the mud floor base in an old ensuite and I thought I built up the new subfloor to a perfect height but failed to take into account the thickness of Schluter Ditra. Now the tile is Just a hair (well, about 1/4" or 6.5mm) higher than the wood at the door opening. Since I'm redoing this bathroom for my elderly mother any sort of trip hazard is a worry but putting in any of the threshold pieces I've seen would seem to make it worse by being even thicker. Any ideas?
