About Us

Our Story

United HomeCare® is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) home health and community care organization that has served South Florida since 1973. We are dedicated to excellence in what we do – helping you or someone you love live at home independently – because there’s just no place like home.

We began as a division of the United Way, with a mission to help families care for their elderly and disabled relatives at home. Today, United HomeCare stays true to its mission as an independent nonprofit organization, one that ranks as the largest home health agency in South Florida. Our staff includes more than 1,200 employees and volunteers providing care to clients across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties. They do more than deliver professional, compassionate and trustworthy care; they provide proven quality-of-life solutions in the comfort of home settings.

Over the years, we have earned a reputation for pioneering advances in home care programs, disease management, and caregiver support programs. All are designed to promote wellness and independence through an interdisciplinary approach. That means our clients benefit from the knowledge and experience of a wide range of health professionals who specialize in care for the elderly and disabled – home health aides, nurses, therapists, social workers, personal care assistants, and others.

We Accept:

Medicare and Medicare Advantage

Medicaid and Long-Term Care Insurance

Private Pay and Worker’s Compensation
