"City boy gone country!” That’s how James describes his move from NYC to Poughkeepsie- a move that’s opened new doors, thanks to his family, and Care Manager, Barbara.

James now spends his days creating art, visiting the farm with his Day Program, and dreaming big.

We’re proud to share his story as part of our Care Management Impact Series!
