Stanford House advocates for caregiver support and election administrator funding

The Cooke County Special Commissioners Court convened on July 10, 2025, to discuss budgetary matters and hear from community representatives. The meeting featured a presentation from Nancy Green, a representative of Stanford House, who outlined the organization's ongoing commitment to supporting seniors and their caregivers.

Green began by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to address the court and reiterated Stanford House's mission. She highlighted a new initiative launched this year: a caregiver support group designed for individuals caring for seniors with conditions such as Parkinson's disease and dementia. This program is facilitated by a licensed counselor, emphasizing the organization's focus on the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of both seniors and their caregivers.

In addition to discussing Stanford House's programs, Green advocated for the establishment of an election administrator in Cooke County. Drawing from her experience working with various counties across Texas, she strongly recommended this position to enhance the county's electoral processes. Her comments were met with acknowledgment from the commissioners, who appeared receptive to the idea.

The meeting concluded with Green's offer to answer any questions regarding Stanford House's initiatives and her support for the election administrator role. The discussions underscored the importance of community support services and effective governance in Cooke County.
