Once we have received your enquiry and the above criteria has been met, a medical referral will need to be submitted by your treating doctor.
Once a referral has been accepted, Karuna’s Clinical Team will work with your treating doctor and team to ensure appropriate coordination of care, then meet with you and your family in your home. An individual care plan will be developed in consultation with you and your carer.
