What Karuna is
Some days, all your loved ones need is an hour of help.
Karuna is care measured in hours. Tell us what your loved ones needs and when — half an hour, three hours, a full day — and a trained professional comes home for exactly that. No contracts, no month-long commitments, no paperwork.
Your loved ones doesn't have to be unwell or dependent for this to help. Most of the families we serve have loved ones who manage beautifully on their own, and simply need someone beside them for a walk, a bath, an appointment or an afternoon.
Care by need
Karuna is built around the person you're looking after.
We're starting with elder care, and building each new kind of care the same way — slowly, and with the same verification behind it.

How It Works
From booking to peace of mind — here's how Karuna keeps your family safe.
- 1
Your details
Name, age, and any condition or mobility notes. The caregiver walks in already knowing who they're caring for.
- 2
What's needed
Tick the help that's needed — company, assisted walking, medicine reminders, meals. It guides the caregiver and doesn't change the price.
- 3
Choose
Pick elder care, then someone now — in about 25 minutes — or at a time you choose.
- 4
Set the hours
Choose how long the visit runs, with the price against each length before you confirm.
- 5
Matched
We match a verified caregiver near you. Nothing is locked in — cancelling is free while you wait.
