This year, United HomeCare® is celebrating 50 years of improving the lives of tens of thousands of elderly and disabled adults in Miami-Dade County. United HomeCare is proud of its fundamental mission to provide our clients with the dignity, independence and compassionate care they deserve. Our mission remains as vital today as when the agency was created.

For 28 years, United HomeCare's Annual Claude Pepper Awards event has emerged as South Florida's signature, charitable event honoring individuals and organizations exemplifying the spirit and ideals of the prestigious awards' namesake, The Honorable Claude Pepper. Senator Pepper once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle: you don't fall off unless you stop pedaling.” In this spirit, United HomeCare continues our commitment to the community by championing causes that deliver proven quality care solutions, and continues to carry on Claude Pepper's legacy at what has become a gathering of camaraderie for South Florida's most dedicated community champions and advocates.
