As someone who has dedicated my life to caring for others, I’ve learned that few moments are as profound as being present for someone during their final journey. My name is Peggy Heneks, and what began as a career in hospitality—managing restaurants like Wills Fargo in Carmel Valley—transformed into a calling when I became a caregiver for a local Carmel Valley resident’s mother. That experience revealed my innate ability to provide intuitive, intentional care for seniors, especially those in hospice.
At Peggy’s Home Care, we specialize in Monterey Bay hospice home care, offering personalized support that prioritizes dignity, comfort, and emotional peace. If you’re considering hospice care at home in Monterey Bay for a loved one, here’s how our team can help.

Coordination with hospice agencies to ensure seamless care.
