Career History and Background

Larry Meigs worked as a franchise consultant for years, and he had 20 years of experience as a franchise consultant when he met Jeffrey Johnson about the possibility of franchising their home-care concept in 1998. In the mid '90s my consulting business really fell apart," Meigs recalled, but out of the blue one day, he got a call from someone he had never met who started talking about private-duty, non-medical home care business.

Meigs, who had extensive experience in franchise marketing, had the know-how to take Visiting Angels national, partnering with Baltimore social worker Jeffrey Johnson, who pioneered the concept in 1991. When his dad was sick with Parkinson's, Meigs was looking into home care and there wasn't any, which inspired his involvement in the venture.

As of June 2026, Larry Meigs, Founder of Visiting Angels, continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer, following the appointment of Scott Parrish as President.

What Larry Meigs could bring to CEO and Founder roles at Visiting Angels:

With nearly three decades of franchise development and marketing expertise combined with hands-on operational leadership, Meigs has demonstrated the ability to scale a personal service business from a single location to over 800 international franchises. His proven track record in building systems for franchisee support, commitment to company values centered on compassionate care, and resilience in transforming personal adversity, his father's Parkinson's diagnosis, into a mission-driven business model position him as a leader capable of sustainable growth in the fragmented home care industry while maintaining quality standards across a distributed franchise network.
