• consent to the primary goals of Karuna – to control symptoms, offer psychosocial support and maintain quality of life in a safe home environment;

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.

We will then arrange a home visit to meet you and your family.
