At least once a month our ward takes the sacrament around to each of them, 
and takes with them the Young Man and Young Woman who spoke in sacrament 
meeting that month. At each home, one gives a short version of their talk 
and the other a testimony and a prayer.

Personally, I don't feel like it is the meeting itself (the content) that 
it so important, but rather, it is (1) the ordinance of the sacrament and 
(2) feeling the Spirit, that are the most important aspects that should be 
provided to each member, shut-ins/homebound and everyone else alike.
