Visiting Angels promotes Parrish to president

Senior home care franchise Visiting Angels has announced a pivotal leadership move.

The non-medical home care agency announced that it has named Scott Parrish as its new company president.

Parrish joined Visiting Angels in 2008 as the company’s first general manager and was promoted to executive vice president a year later. In his new role, Parrish oversaw all corporate departments, ensuring that corporate functions operated as an integrated team dedicated to supporting Visiting Angels franchise owners.

“Visiting Angels has always been more than a company to me; it’s a mission I believe in deeply,” said Parrish. “Looking back on nearly two decades, I’m most proud of being a part of a team that has achieved this level of success while still managing to maintain our unique family culture. I want to make sure we keep our culture intact going forward.”

Before joining Visiting Angels, Parrish served for 21 years in the United States Navy as an officer and Naval Aviator. During his military career, Parrish held varying positions of increasing responsibility, including maintenance officer, operations officer, and executive officer.

Following Parrish’s latest promotion, Larry Meigs, the founder of Visiting Angels, will continue to serve as CEO. The company said that Meigs will work alongside Parrish to guide its ongoing growth and commitment to compassionate senior home care.

“Scott isn’t just an extraordinary leader, he’s a brilliant representative of everything Visiting Angels strives to be,” Meigs said. “Scott has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to our values, to the caregivers who make this work possible, and to the families who trust us with the people they love most. When I think about the next chapter for Visiting Angels, I think about the kind of leadership that earns trust from every direction—from our franchise owners, our caregivers, and the families we serve.

Scott embodies that. He’s the right person, at the right time, to help lead this brand forward.”

Visiting Angels has to grown to a network of more than 600 office locations. The company specializes in providing seniors and adults with personalized support, including daily tasks and companionship, along with specialized care.

Outside of the United States, Visiting Angels has operations in the United Kingdom, Mexico, and South Korea. In Canada, the franchise operates under the Senior Home Care by Angels banner.

“As we moved forward, my goal is to continue to increase our value to our owners through the growth and strength of our brand with a focus on the needs of our caregivers, bringing the next generation of owners who share our values into our Visiting Angels family, and to determine the appropriate use of technology to support our owners, their caregivers and clients,” Parrish added.
