Mission: Our mission is to assure the dignity and independence of older adults in our community by providing services that respond to their needs and by encouraging their participation in helping others. The coalition strives to provide education, support, and advocacy for older adults.
Programs: The primary goal of the south madison coalition of the elderly's case management services is to provide senior adults the support, resources, and community services they need to safely remain in their own homes. Case managers conduct home visits to assess the individual needs of each senior adult and then provide information, referrals, and advocacy according to those needs. Some individuals are looking for short-term information while others benefit from ongoing support. During 2017, the coalition provided 10,790 hours of case management services to 517 seniors.
the south madison coalition of the elderly oversees nutritious luncheons for senior adults at three locations on the southside of madison. In addition to a delicious full meal, socialization, entertainment, and educational programs are provided prior to the meal. Guests 60 years of age or older are asked to provide an anonymous donation. Guests under 60 years of age are asked to pay the full cost of the meal. In 2017, three meal sites served 16,811 meals.
the south madison coalition of the elderly's volunteer home chore program assists frail, limited-income older adults in need of help with simple chores around the house.

In 2017, 2,146 hours of assistance were provided to 87 clients by 115 volunteers.
