Sexual Harassment Course

All employees must take the following Sexual Harassment course. SARA will NOT be sent notification that you have completed it, so you must download the certificate or take a photo when it appears on the screen at the end of the course. Then email it to Siah Nelson at siahn@saracompanions.com. Thank you.

Important Information for Caregivers

Tuberculosis (TB)

Each year all SARA caregivers are required by the New York State Department of Health to fill in an updated TB Questionnaire and submit it to the agency.

In addition to filling in and submitting the form to SARA, the NYSDOH mandates that information about Tuberculosis (TB) be provided to all New York State caregivers working for a Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA).

The link to the Tuberculosis section of the CDC website is: https://www.cdc.gov/tb/topic/testing/whobetested.htm
