Get to know Ellen Platt, MEd, CRC, CCM - President & Certified Aging Life Care Manager at The Option Group

The Option Group celebrates 10 years with a new look for the new year.

Our compassionate team of Geriatric/Aging Life Care Managers (GCM) serves family caregivers, medical professionals, and professional family advisors in Maryland, Delaware & Pennsylvania.

The company's expansion into Philadelphia is a result of a recent merger with a PA-based Valerio Care Management, a business led by Denise M. Valerio, a Geriatric / Aging Life Care Manager. Denise is well known for her deep knowledge of care coordination and going the extra mile to 'do right by her clients'.

The Option Group also unveils its rebrand, including:

  • New logo and tagline: The new logo and tagline emphasize The Option Group's client-centered care, symbolized by the "OG" initials and orange heart at the focal point. Family caregivers are often overwhelmed with questions and decisions pertaining to their loved one's health, facility options, finances, legal resources, and more. The eight "petals" represent the eight key criteria The Option Group use in providing support, implementation and care coordination services, which allow the team to provide clear choices that lead to better care.
  • New website: www.theoptiongroup.net includes free resources and easy-to-find information to help families, medical professionals, and family advisors. The site includes a video library, including "meet the staff" video bios and compelling personal stories shared by several of our team's Certified Aging Life Care Managers. The site also accommodates all users with its built-in accessibility functionality.

"It's been a big year for The Option Group and it's only February!" exclaimed company founder and President, Ellen S. Platt, MEd, CRC, CCM.  "Our ultimate goal with these strategic changes is to provide the best experience possible for our clients, their family, and those involved with their care. We are proud of the integral role we play helping older adults and those with catastrophic injury, chronic diseases and disabilities, live their fullest life possible."

Ms. Platt stresses that, while some aspects of The Option Group may look a little different on the outside, the company's mission, core values, and full team commitment to client-centric care are unwavering.
