About Liz Heape Caldwell

Beyond the resume

Elder Options has been a part of Liz's life from when her mother, Carol, founded the business in 1988. Liz truly grew up watching her build it. She took a different road for a while - to law school & Nevada - before coming back to Placerville and joining the company in 2003. Since then, she's worked her way from the ground up: student member of the Aging Life Care Association to full member, board member to Western Regional President, and now co-owner and COO alongside Carol, who still works with the organization she started nearly four decades ago. It's not a family business in the abstract. It's a mother-daughter operation that has served the same community for 39 years.

Elder Options, Inc. provides care managed in-home care for older adults, individuals with chronic illnesses, and people with special needs and disabilities. Every client is paired with both a trained caregiver and a credentialed care manager who oversees planning and monitors progress as needs evolve. Services are available to private-pay clients as well as those with VA benefits, Medi-Cal, long-term care insurance, and through contracts with Alta Regional Center and the California Department of Health Care Services.

Liz keeps coming back to something simple: asking for help isn't weakness. It's wisdom. Families often arrive carrying a long list of things they think they're supposed to handle alone. Her first job is to make it smaller: pick one step, help them take it, and make the next one clearer. She's been on the other side of that overwhelm herself, and it shows in how she talks to families.

What makes Elder Options structurally different from most home care agencies is the care management layer built into every client relationship. Each caregiver is supported by a credentialed care manager who oversees the plan, monitors how things are going, and adjusts when needs change. Families don't have to catch problems themselves, because someone is already watching out for them.

Elder Options helps Veterans, our Elderly Community, children with disabilities and more. Elder options just moved into a beautiful building across from The Independent on Main Street. The Independent is lucky to have gained such a reputable business right across the street. Thank you Elder Options for improving lives in El Dorado County.

The ladies working for Elder Options are absolute angels. They were with my father for 2 years prior to his passing. He was cherished by them and enjoyed their company. With 24 hour care, he thrived and counted on them for everything. My family and I do not know what we would have done without them.
