Rita was 84 years old when she passed away. For the past 7 years, she had been living in small sheltered housing project, along with Sue, a friend of hers for 40 years. The sheltered housing project is staffed by carers who work in shifts. The majority of the carers have worked on the project for over 8 years. Rita and Sue made friends with the other eight residents. The residents enjoyed living at the sheltered housing as they said they couldn’t have coped staying alone at home due to various ailments associated with old age. Residents often chatted to each other, got together for bingo, and engaged in outdoor activities such as gardening where they took care of the communal garden. When the weather was good, they liked taking walks in the park so that they stay fit.  However, three months ago, Rita was diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused any medical treatment and the medical professionals respected her wishes. She died in her sleep a month later.  Using the above scenario to write your report of 1,000 words covering learning outcomes (LO1.1,1.2, &1.3)
