A Charleston caregiver has earned a national honor for her work helping older adults and mentoring fellow caregivers.
Visiting Angels, a national home care agency with an office in Charleston, named Tiffany Moon of Visiting Angels Charleston its 2026 National Caregiver of the Year. The award recognizes a caregiver who shows compassion and professionalism while helping older adults and other vulnerable people remain safe and independent in their homes.
Moon was chosen from more than 100 nominations submitted from across the country.
She has worked for Visiting Angels Charleston since 2019. During the past seven years, she has also helped train and mentor nearly 100 caregivers through the company's mentorship program.
"Tiffany embodies everything Visiting Angels aims to demonstrate, namely compassion, professionalism, and providing a genuine human connection to our clients," Visiting Angels President Scott Parrish said. "Her kindness and empathy are exactly what every family hopes to find in the person caring for their loved ones, and we're happy to recognize her outstanding efforts."
Visiting Angels Founder and CEO Larry Meigs said Moon reflects the organization's values every day.
"It's extremely important to acknowledge and celebrate the people who make Visiting Angels special, and Tiffany is a true embodiment of everything we stand for," Meigs said. "At Visiting Angels, our mission is built on generosity, humility, relationships, passion, service, and excellence — and for seven years, Tiffany has brought every one of those values to life. We're proud to honor her as our 2026 National Caregiver of the Year."
As part of the recognition, Moon received a $10,000 award during the company's annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"I feel so honored to be named Caregiver of the Year," Moon said. "This recognition means more to me than words can express. I truly love my job, the people I work with, and the families I have the privilege of serving every day. Coming alongside families during some of life's most challenging moments and being the support they need is an incredible blessing. Knowing I can help ease a burden and make someone's day a little brighter truly fills my soul. Thank you, Visiting Angels, for this incredible honor and for allowing me to do what I love every day."
Two other caregivers were recognized as national finalists. Amanda Williams of Visiting Angels Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and Eddie Thomas of Visiting Angels Northeast San Antonio, Texas, each received a $5,000 award. The company also gave $1,000 awards to its national semifinalists.
