John and Meredith Hunt

After graduating from Pittsford Mendon High school, John started his career in social work on the west coast, working with the adolescent population with individuals who have moderate to severe psychiatric/emotional/behavioral difficulties. He developed an interest in working with individuals with dementia and cognitive challenges. He wrote and implemented a treatment program for Early-Onset Schizophrenia. This program developed exposure and interest and became the first nationally-promoted residential program for Early-Onset Schizophrenia in North America and has been duplicated in hospital and residential care environments world-wide.

John spent a lot of his early career promoting awareness and education concerning Early-Onset cognitive issues, speaking and teaching at various events and symposiums throughout the United States. He later got his MBA and moved into business development in Healthcare and Financial Services and spent much of his life ‘on the road.’ In 2006 he relocated back to Rochester with his wife, Meredith.

Meredith was an avid athletic and academic in what used to be called Sperry High School in Rush-Henrietta. She went to Syracuse University where she studied Accounting and rowed for Crew. She started out working for Sam’s Club in Accounts Receivable and focused on starting a family. She later got into sales and worked in both the Tire and Automotive Industry, selling business to business, working her way up to the top sales position allowing her to open new territories throughout Upstate NY. Her hard work and dedication to others helped her find success in the business world and led the way to what would become a natural progression into customer service, serving in the home care field, mostly working with Seniors.

John and Meredith have 4 wonderful children, all of which currently reside in Rochester. Having both been family caregivers, they found an interest in home care. Upon completion of many hours of education and hands on training they now have their respective places in Caring Hearts of Rochester. They have been involved in the community with the Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Foundation and are active volunteers in the community and their Church.

Meredith was a Breast Cancer Survivor and had been a volunteer with Better Day Buddies, serving the younger population challenged with the struggles related to Cancer.

Update July, 2019:

In July of 2019 after a 5 year battle with Breast Cancer, Meredith lost the battle and passed away peacefully with her family by her side. A terrible loss for her family and our family here at Caring Hearts. John and Meredith know what it is like to work with a nursing and home care company.

Although Meredith has left us in this world, her contributions and her memory will long live with us here at Caring Hearts of Rochester.
