Visiting Angels Celebrates a Transformative Year in 2026

As we reach the mid-point of 2026, Visiting Angels, the leading brand in non-medical home care, is making headlines with significant leadership changes and national recognition. In June, the company appointed Scott Parrish, who has been with Visiting Angels since 2008, as the new President after his tenure as Executive Vice President. His extensive experience within the company positions him well to lead Visiting Angels into its next chapter, emphasizing a leadership style built on trust and collaboration.

Founder and CEO Larry Meigs expressed his confidence in Parrish, stating that he encapsulates the qualities necessary to foster trust among franchise owners, caregivers, and the families they serve. This transition comes as the company holds its annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they announce Tiffany Moon, a dedicated caregiver from West Virginia, as the Caregiver of the Year for 2026. This prestigious award is accompanied by a $10,000 prize, highlighting Moon’s commitment to providing compassionate care, which is central to Visiting Angels' mission.

The awards didn’t stop there; 2026 has proven to be a landmark year for Visiting Angels in terms of accolades. The brand received multiple Best of Home Care® awards from Activated Insights, including coveted titles such as Employer of Choice and Leader in Experience. Additionally, they were recognized by Franchise Business Review in several categories: Top Franchises 2026, Top Franchises for Culture, and Top Franchises for Women, among others. These recognitions underscore the dedication and hard work from every member of the Visiting Angels team.

Liz Berdow, Vice President of Marketing, remarked on the significance of these awards: “Being named in these rankings is a testament to the culture of excellence we foster at Visiting Angels.” She emphasized that staying true to their values and mission—serving their communities and supporting their staff—is paramount to their success.

Recognizing individual franchise owners’ achievements is also essential for the company. This year, the Founders Award was awarded to Robert and Marilyn Oswald, who operate the Visiting Angels franchise in Kitsap County, WA. This award celebrates franchise owners who significantly contribute to the field of home care and exemplify the spirit of the Visiting Angels brand.

Looking ahead, Visiting Angels is gearing up for their annual Walk to End Alzheimer's, a cause they have passionately supported for over 16 years. The organization has raised more than $5.3 million towards this critical initiative, emphasizing their commitment to community involvement.

Franchise growth remains a priority as well. With over 600 locations across the United States, Visiting Angels is actively expanding its network, providing individuals the opportunity to enter the fulfilling realm of senior home care. The company offers comprehensive training and ongoing support, enabling franchise owners to thrive while making a real difference in the lives of seniors. As the demand for in-home care services continues to rise, Visiting Angels is well-positioned to serve a broader audience, ensuring that seniors can live comfortably and independently in their homes.

Navigating through a landscape of growth and accolades, Visiting Angels confirms its status as America’s premier choice for home care, constantly seeking ways to innovate and elevate the standards within the industry. Through strong leadership, a dedicated workforce, and unwavering commitment to clients, the future of Visiting Angels looks bright.
