Richard A., Attorney/Guardian/POA
Over the years I have referred matters to others. But simply stated, because of her knowledge, experience, willingness to go the extra mile, patience and enthusiasm for her job, Ellen Platt is the best geriatric case manager I have employed or referred clients to.
Phil W., Son of Client
My family contacted Ellen Platt when my parents were in need of guidance for my mother, who was recovering from a hospital stay due to spinal stenosis and Alzheimer’s. She actively investigated their situation, including personally meeting with both of them, and following up with the nursing staff caring for my mother. Her recommendations were very helpful in locating a permanent facility for Mom, and helping facilitate the processes of evaluation and application. I have recommended her to a coworker since then and would do so again. Her services are excellent.
Sharon I., Daughter of Client
As a Geriatric / Lifecare Manager, Ellen Platt and the Option Group provided me trustworthy direction and facilitated good reliable services for my 87 year old Dad. She explained how the system worked, and guided me through all the glitches during a very stressful time. Because of her assistance, Dad’s transition from rehab to home went quite smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact The Option Group in the future.
Heather M., Senior Service Provider
Ellen provides a very valuable service to the seniors in our community. She is very professional and shows an inordinate amount of compassion for her clients! She has been a pleasure to work with on a professional level as well.
Nancy C., Daughter of Client
The Option Group has been very responsive and helped in every way. A blessing in getting through all the crises with Dad. I’m thankful that your service exists. I don’t know what would have happened without you.
Marvin Kaminetz (St. Mary’s County)
Ellen and her team have provided outstanding support to me in my responsibility of being guardian for my 90 year old cousin (who resides in assisted living in Baltimore county). It is without reservation I recommend them for anyone in need of geriatric care.
Barbara P., Wife of Client
I am reaching out to thank you for the courtesy, care, and concern that you have always shown to me as I made every attempt to provide my husband with the best care possible. You were always courteous, respectful, and kind. This has not been an easy road for us, but you lightened the load where you could.
Baltimore Attorney
Ellen Platt and The Option Group have the depth of experience and knowledge needed to help my clients navigate health challenges safely. I credit Ellen with helping a trust beneficiary by reaching into her referral network to help find a drug rehabilitation facility with demonstrable successes. Our trust beneficiary was able to get herself on track with the help of this proven program, avoiding the potential financial disaster of unproven, for-profit ‘treatment’ centers.
Jack H., Husband of Client
I want to tell you how valuable The Option Group has been to my family. You listened to all of our needs and guided us to the best option. I would strongly recommend The Option Group to anyone who needs help in finding the best option!
Roy L., Brother-in-law of client
I found the pot of gold when I found The Option Group. I cannot imagine how we could have traversed the intervening years without your guidance. I certainly would have frustratingly spun my wheels trying to find a better residence for my love one. You are singularly responsible for providing my loved one what he desired most: to finish his years in his home.
Parent of Child
Dear Mary Jo, Thank you for all that you do, have done and continue to do. You have changed our life and so many others in such a positive way. Your overall knowledge, experience, and, most importantly, your heart and soul are forces to be reckoned with. I am so grateful to have you as part of our support family. I admire your passion for taking care of children who desperately need someone who gets what they need and doesn’t stand down until they do. [They] are getting the best support possible from a school that doesn’t really have much and that is all because of you – bless you!

“That’s why advocacy is so important. Without Mary Jo (her advocate and the Director of Educational Advocacy at The Option Group), I would have ended up in therapy with my son, and it wasn’t until Mary Jo was involved that we began to see improvement and resolution. I cannot begin to emphasize the importance of an advocate in my son’s life. I’m a professional, but at the IEP meeting, I’m a parent; I’m emotional. Many parents think they don’t need an advocate, but advocates know things we don’t about the laws and school systems.”
Thank you so much for the way your advocating for [our child] and us. It shows that you really care and it’s not just your job. I appreciate it and it makes us feel supported in this fight for him. Thanks again.
