Home Health United

Home Health Uniteds' Mission -- People helping people make choices that achieve their optimal independence and quality of life -- encompasses all of the comprehensive programs Home Health United offers. Our primary goal is to keep people in their homes. To that end we offer many programs to help older adults and physically disabled individuals of all ages. One program that helps us achieve our mission, and for which we need many dedicated, caring volunteers, is Meals on Wheels. The volunteers in this program can be described as a friendly lifeline for the meal recipients who are delivered a daily, nutritious mid-day meal. All volunteers in some way help the people of our agency help people in the community realize their desire to be as independent as they possibly can.

Description:
Home Health United offers integrated and comprehensive services. We are dedicated to helping people remain independent by offering a variety of services in the privacy and comfort of their home. Services include Nursing Care, Physical,Occupational and Speech Therapy, Medical Social Services, Home Health Aides, Companion Caregivers, Meals On Wheels, IV Therapy, Respiratory Therapy and Home Medical Equipment and Supplies. Each year we also have a Flu Program that provides flu shots at convenient public and corporate locations.

History:
Home Health United celebrated it's 20th Anniversary in 2006. In 1999, Home Health United merged with the Visiting Nurse Service, an agency with an even longer history. One of its most enduring programs is Meals on Wheels, which has been serving hot, nutritious meals 365 days a year for over 35 years. It is our largest volunteer program and one for which we are always recruiting dedicated, caring individuals. We currently have four convenient pickup locations in Madison. Meals are prepared by Hoffman House and delivered to these sites between 11 a.m. and noon each day. Our program wouldn't be possible without our many dedicated volunteers. In addition, we have a corporate volunteer program with many churches, synagogues and service organizations participating. Volunteer times can be arranged to fit any schedule. In addition to Meals On Wheels volunteers, during flu immunization season we need volunteers to help in our offices and at public flu clinics throughout Dane County. We can also use volunteers in our corporate offices on the east and west side of Madison.
