Calhoun County Seeks Partners to Expand Services for Older Residents

Calhoun County Senior Services is looking for organizations that can help expand support for older adults, family caregivers and the people who work with aging residents.

The county has announced three proposal opportunities: caregiver-support services, Community Health Worker training focused on older adults, and mental and brain health programming. The work is aimed at building partnerships that can make services easier to find and use across Calhoun County.

What the opportunities cover

Caregiver proposals can address education, respite support, resource navigation, case coordination, support groups and culturally responsive help. The training opportunity focuses on community health workers serving older adults, including communication, chronic-disease self-management and connections to long-term supports.

The third opportunity seeks mental and brain health programming for older residents. County officials say the broader goal is to strengthen accessible, evidence-based support systems for residents and families.

Deadline and next steps

Organizations must submit proposals electronically by Oct. 15. Selected organizations are expected to be notified in November, according to the announcement. Readers seeking services for themselves or a family member should remember that this is a provider funding opportunity, not a direct individual application program.

For current forms and questions, start with Calhoun County Senior Services and confirm details before submitting materials.
