Nursing Home Admission Consent Package

Streamline Nursing Home Admissions with a Complete Digital Consent Package

Nursing home admissions involve dozens of documents, signatures, and critical decisions—often during an already stressful transition for residents and their families. This Nursing Home Admission Consent Package template consolidates everything into one professional, easy-to-complete digital form that covers treatment consent, care assessment, advance directives, insurance enrollment, and ombudsman notification.

Built for long-term care facilities, senior living administrators, and healthcare coordinators, this template helps you collect all required information upfront while maintaining full HIPAA compliance and legal protections. Instead of juggling paper packets and tracking down missing signatures, your admissions team can send one secure link and receive complete, organized submissions ready for your records system.

What's Included in This Template

This comprehensive package includes sections for resident and responsible party information, medical history and care needs assessment, treatment consent and HIPAA authorization, advance directive elections (DNR, living will, healthcare proxy), Medicare and Medicaid enrollment details, medication management authorization, ombudsman rights notification, financial responsibility agreements, and emergency contact protocols.

The conditional logic built into the form ensures that families only see questions relevant to their situation—Medicare enrollees get different questions than Medicaid applicants, and those designating a healthcare proxy see appropriate follow-up fields automatically.

Perfect for Long-Term Care Facilities

Whether you operate skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, memory care units, or continuing care retirement communities, this template adapts to your admission workflow. It's designed for admissions coordinators, nursing home administrators, patient advocates, social workers, and healthcare compliance officers who need to balance thoroughness with compassion during a sensitive transition.

Automate Admissions with Stepper & Papersign

Take your admission process even further by connecting this form to Stepper, Paperform's AI-native workflow builder. Automatically route completed forms to your medical records system, trigger background checks, create resident files in your facility management software, notify department heads, and schedule orientation appointments—all without manual data entry.

For documents requiring legal signatures like advance directives and financial agreements, use Papersign to generate formal consent documents from form submissions and collect secure eSignatures from residents and family members. This creates a complete audit trail and keeps all documentation connected to the original admission form.

HIPAA-Compliant Data Collection

While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant for storing protected health information long-term, this form is designed to collect admission data securely and facilitate immediate transfer to your compliant EHR or facility management system via integrations with Stepper or Zapier. Always ensure your complete workflow meets HIPAA requirements for your organization.
