This task should highlight your understanding about the older person across four domains:
(i) personal history/biography;
(ii) experiences of ageing;
(iii) chronic conditions/comorbidities and 
(iv) wishes for their future.

Based on your journal entries/notes you will need to craft a person-centred narrative (in the form of an essay) that addresses the above four domains: (i) personal history/biography; (ii) experiences of ageing; (iii) chronic conditions/comorbidities; (iv) wishes for the future.  You will develop your person-centred narrative (in the form of an essay) that address the above domains.
