Karuna Care London intends to work in close partnership with Hillingdon Council’s Adult Social Care teams to facilitate local authority-funded placements. We are preparing to meet all requirements to become an approved provider for Hillingdon. While our official approvals are still pending, we are proactively building strong working relationships with the council’s social workers, care assessors, and commissioning teams. This preparation ensures that once we are approved, referrals from Hillingdon will be handled smoothly and in line with the council’s protocols and quality expectations.
Karuna Care London Limited is committed to a clear and collaborative referrals and placement process for new residents. We are currently in the process of applying for registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and seeking approval from Hillingdon Council to accept local authority-funded placements. The information below outlines our proposed procedures for referrals and admissions, designed in alignment with UK adult social care regulations. Our goal is to make the process transparent, professional, and supportive for everyone involved – from social care professionals and CQC assessors to families and prospective residents.
We emphasise open communication and coordination with Hillingdon’s adult social care services. Our team will collaborate with care managers and placement officers to identify suitable individuals for our service and to make the referral process as efficient as possible. Even before our registration is finalised, we remain committed to transparency and cooperation, keeping the council informed of our service capacity, specialties, and any developments in our registration status.
Karuna Care London is also open to referrals from neighbouring boroughs. We recognise that surrounding local authorities may have residents in need of quality care placements, and we welcome the opportunity to support them. This includes working with services that cater to homeless individuals and other priority groups. For example, if an adjacent borough has an adult with support needs who is transitioning out of homelessness or requires specialised care, we are prepared to consider such referrals. We believe in contributing to the wider community’s needs across borough lines, ensuring vulnerable adults – whether they are elderly, have disabilities, mental health needs, or are recovaering from homelessness – can access the safe and supportive environment we offer. Our collaborative approach with Hillingdon and other councils underscores our dedication to public service and social responsibility.
