"When I think about the next chapter for Visiting Angels, I think about the kind of leadership that earns trust from every direction," said Founder and CEO Larry Meigs. "From our franchise owners, our caregivers, and the families we serve. Scott embodies that."
Visiting Angels also held their annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona in June. The event was punctuated by announcing West Virginia caregiver Tiffany Moon as the company's 2026 Caregiver of the Year. As part of her recognition, Moon was presented with an award and a $10,000 check. The Caregiver of the Year awards ceremony highlights employees who provide compassionate, professional support that helps seniors and vulnerable individuals remain comfortable and independent in their own homes.
2026 has already been a banner year for accolades. Visiting Angels received several Best of Home Care® awards from Activated Insights, including Employer of Choice, Leader in Experience and Leader in Training. Additionally, Visiting Angels was named to the following Franchise Business Review lists:
- Satisfaction Awards: Top Franchises 2026

"Being named to Franchise Business Review's Top Franchises, Top Franchises for Culture, Top Franchises for Women, Top Franchises Recession Resistant, Most Innovative and Most Profitable Franchises lists is a wonderful recognition of the dedication we strive for at Visiting Angels, from the top down," said Liz Berdow, Vice President of Marketing for Visiting Angels. "Ultimately, as long as we stay true to our values and our mission statement in serving our communities and supporting our staff, accolades will follow, but the most important thing for Visiting Angels is offering the best assistance we can to employees and our clients and their families."
The brand's network of franchise owners is also being recognized individually. Among this year's honorees, Robert and Marilyn Oswald, owners of Visiting Angels in Kitsap County, WA, received the company's Founders Award, the highest recognition Visiting Angels bestows on those who have most notably advanced the cause of private duty home care and positively represented the brand and the industry.
Momentum continues to build towards the second half of 2026. In the fall, Visiting Angels locations across the country make their annual push and promotion for the Walk to End Alzheimer's, a cause the company is deeply involved with. Now in its 16th year, Visiting Angels has raised over $5.3 million to date.
