Butch Merideth, Owner
Butch Merideth established the Windward and Central Oahu office of Home Instead in March of 2015.
With a bachelor’s degree in organizational communication and public relations and a Master of Science degree in Health Care Management, Butch has worked in the healthcare industry for the past twenty-three years, most recently at Kaiser Permanente Hawai'i Region. The desire to fulfill a passion for service to others led him to Home Instead.
“I was looking for a way to utilize my education and professional background to become a community leader through service and assistance to others,” Butch said. “My goal is to be a trusted and reliable resource for in-home senior care and an avid advocate for changing the face of aging on our island. I also look forward to providing meaningful jobs to caring people in our community.”
“I can think of no greater honor than to be able to assist seniors as they age in place and help them maintain the honor and dignity they have earned,” Butch said. “Seniors, and those who love them, can look forward to the future knowing that they will have a trusted partner in Home Instead.”
