Home Heart Heroes

Improve Your Home. Boost Your Confidence.

Empowering Independence, One Home at a Time

At Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula, we believe that home should be a place of safety, comfort, and dignity. But for many seniors, veterans, and disabled adults, simple home repairs and accessibility upgrades can mean the difference between staying independent—or having to leave the place they love.

That’s where Home Heart Heroes comes in.

HOME HEART HEROES

What We Do

Home Heart Heroes provides free small-scale home modifications to help our clients age in place safely. These repairs are designed to improve mobility, accessibility, and comfort, ensuring that our clients can continue living independently in their own homes.

• Common projects include:
• Grab bar and handrail installation
• Wheelchair ramps
• Shower chairs and anti-slip surfaces
• Raised toilet seats
• Minor home safety repairs
• And more...

HOME HEART HEROES

Why It Matters

Many of our clients face physical limitations, fixed incomes, and barriers to accessing traditional home repair services. Without basic safety upgrades, daily tasks can become dangerous—or even impossible.

By improving home safety, we reduce the risk of falls and hospitalizations, boost confidence, and promote long-term independence. Each project is small in scale, but transformative in impact.

“It helps people stay where they are and avoid the need for assisted living facilities. It’s about creating an environment where they can thrive.”
— Jacob Shafer, Senior Director of Advancement

Impact So Far

Since its launch, Home Heart Heroes has completed 50+ projects for local seniors and disabled adults. Every home we enter is a step toward dignity, safety, and peace of mind. The heartfelt feedback we receive proves just how much these changes mean.

“I was scared to go to the bathroom alone. Now, I feel safe again in my own home.” – Home Heart Heroes client
