Looking at this assignment, make sure you look at not only the task, but also at the rationale. Looking at the rationale, you can see that a lot of this assignment is about stereotypes of ageing that you might have and how this could influence what you do. So in regards to your task, keep stereotypes in mind, how could these stereotypes influence your understanding of the person’s baseline functioning, etc.
Initially, work out what baseline functioning means. How does the older adult function at home? Is the person able to fend for themselves, do they eat regularly, do they set the house on fire regularly, do they let the bath overflow regularly, etc. How can you find this out and what would happen if the person is completely capable of looking after themselves, but you decide they can’t, based on some stereotypes.
