The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Consideration for Use of Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Skilled Nursing Facilities dated June 2021 documents Facilities should develop a method to identify residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices, and post clear signage outside of resident rooms indicating the type of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required and defining high risk resident care activities. Gowns and gloves should be available outside of each resident room, and alcohol-based hand rub should be available for every resident room (ideally both inside and outside of the room). On 6/23/25 at 8:15AM there was an EBP sign posted on R1's room door that indicated to wear gown and gloves for high contact resident care activities that included toileting, dressing, and transfers.
