Daily report checklist for senior living projects
Senior living projects combine multifamily style unit work with healthcare style resident protection, especially on renovations and expansions next to occupied buildings. The daily report should cover both.
What makes these jobs different
- Residents may be present and vulnerable
- Infection control and life safety measures similar to healthcare in some settings
- Unit by unit progress like multifamily
- Noise and work hours set around resident schedules
- State licensing inspections in some care settings

Frequently asked questions
What makes a senior living daily report different from a multifamily one?
Resident protection. Barriers, egress, life safety measures and work hours around resident schedules belong in the record along with unit progress.
Should complaints from residents or families be logged?
Yes, with the time, the issue and what was done. It shows the contractor responded and helps the operator manage the relationship.
