Overview

ImaraCare maintains the complete mandatory training curriculum for boarding home staff. All topics are sourced from the statutory requirements for boarding home operator and staff training. The Curriculum & Assignments tab in Training Management gives you a complete view of every required topic, per-staff completion progress, and outstanding assignments.

​
Mandatory training topics

The following topics are required for all boarding home staff. Topics marked Pre-contact required must be completed before a staff member may work directly with residents.
Topics 10C (Laundry) and 10D (Housework) are only applicable at facilities that provide those services. They are not required before resident contact.

​
Annual renewal topics

The following topics require renewal every 12 months:
  • Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation
  • Emergency Procedures — Contacting Emergency Personnel
  • Assisting Residents with Self-Administration of Medication
  • Injury, Incident, and Unusual Accident Reporting
  • Emergency, Evacuation, and Disaster Plans
When a recurring completion expires, ImaraCare automatically creates a new assignment with a 7-day completion window.

​
Viewing the curriculum

Go to Staff & HR → Training and click the Curriculum & Assignments tab. Each topic row shows:
  • Topic name with a One-time or Annual renewal badge
  • Completion window (days from assignment date)
  • A progress bar showing how many assigned staff have completed the topic
  • A ▾ button to expand the full topic description

​
Assigning a topic to a staff member

  1. Click Assign Topic in the top-right corner of the Curriculum tab.
  2. Select the staff member from the dropdown (only Active staff are shown).
  3. Select the topic from the curriculum list.
  4. Set a due date.
  5. Click Assign.
The assignment appears immediately in the Pending Assignments panel and on the staff member’s Training Records.

​
Marking a topic complete

Find the pending assignment in the curriculum view or Training Records tab and click Mark Complete. The system:
  1. Records the completion with a timestamp.
  2. Re-evaluates the staff member’s Resident Contact Clearance status.
  3. If all pre-contact topics are now complete, clears the Not Cleared badge automatically.

​
Completion window

Each topic has a completion window — the number of days from assignment date by which the training must be finished:
  • 7 days — high-priority topics (abuse prevention, medication, emergency, incident reporting)
  • 14 days — knowledge topics (resident rights, complaint process, health services, facility services)
  • 30 days — certifications (CPR/First Aid, if applicable)
Assignments not completed within the window are automatically flagged as overdue.
