Senior Living Facility Found Item Report

Streamline Found Item Management in Your Senior Living Facility

Managing lost and found items in senior living facilities requires special care and attention. When residents misplace personal belongings—especially those in memory care units—having a clear, organized system for reporting and returning found items is essential for maintaining resident dignity, family trust, and operational efficiency.

This Senior Living Facility Found Item Report template is designed specifically for assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities. It enables staff members to quickly document found items with detailed descriptions, correlate items with resident rooms and common areas, and initiate appropriate family contact protocols when needed.

Built for the Unique Needs of Senior Care

Unlike generic lost and found forms, this template addresses the specific challenges senior living facilities face. It includes fields for memory care considerations, resident identification details, item location tracking, and family notification preferences. Staff can document whether an item was found in a resident room, common area, dining hall, or during activities, making it easier to match items with their owners.

The form captures essential staff finder details including name, department, and shift information, creating accountability and making follow-up communication seamless. For memory care residents who may not be able to identify their belongings independently, the form includes protocols for family contact and verification.

Paperform Makes It Simple

With Paperform, your senior living facility can customize this template to match your specific protocols and branding. Use conditional logic to show different questions based on where the item was found or whether it belongs to a memory care resident. Add photo upload fields so staff can document the item visually, making identification easier for residents and families.

Integrate with tools like Slack to notify the appropriate department immediately when a high-value item is found, or connect to Google Sheets to maintain a centralized lost and found inventory. Use Stepper to automate your return process—automatically sending notification emails to family members, creating tasks for staff follow-up, and tracking items until they're successfully returned.

This template helps senior care facilities maintain the compassionate, organized approach that residents and their families deserve, turning what could be a stressful situation into a smooth, professional experience.
