Angie Vidal from Tacoma’s Visiting Angels is one of this year’s semi-finalists for the Visiting Angels National Caregiver of the Year Award.
The award honors caregivers who deliver compassionate, professional care that helps seniors and vulnerable people stay safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes, according to a press release.
Vidal joined the Visiting Angels team in 2024. Vidal described herself in the release as someone who “prefers to stay in the background so her clients can remain the focus.” She is also “known for the quiet compassion and deep respect she shows for her clients each and every day” and is “intentionally low-key.”
Julie Moore from Visiting Angels’ Kennewick location was additionally named a semi-finalist. Moore has worked as a caregiver with Visiting Angels since 2006. The release described her as bringing “a calming presence that immediately puts clients and families at ease, while her amazing sense of humor and contagious laugh often do just as much healing as her personal care.”
This year’s semi-finalists include caregivers from nine states. From this group, two finalists and one national Caregiver of the Year will be chosen. The winner will receive a $10,000 prize, and the two finalists will each receive $5,000.
Nominations for the recognition are submitted by the Visiting Angels franchisees. A panel of franchise owners then reviews the nominations and evaluates each caregiver’s impact on their clients and families. The winners will be announced at the Visiting Angels Annual Conference in June.
