Daily Resident Check for Aged Care
This daily resident check template helps aged care and residential care teams document key aspects of resident well-being. Capture cleanliness and grooming, weather-appropriate clothing and labeled attire, footwear, dental hygiene or dentures, shaving, and other personal care tasks. Verify recent bathing or showering, correct placement of hearing aids and glasses, and availability of fresh drinks within reach. For residents with catheters, confirm leg bag emptying and status. Use this checklist to promote consistent, person-centered care and clear records across shifts in care homes and residential facilities. Note: Public Library templates are examples and should be adapted to your policies and local regulations.
