60th Anniversary Spotlight: Horizon View Client Poem

Celebrating The People We Serve

As we celebrate Telecare’s 60th year, we want to spotlight some of the things that make Telecare special. The most important people at Telecare are those we serve, who are our reason for existence. From them, we learn about resilience, recovery, hope, joy, and the power within us all to follow our dreams and create the lives we want to live.

Today’s Spotlight: A Horizon View Client

“Here I am in my cocoon, listening carefully for my tune.
My eyes are now opening—bright, glorious, cosmic making.
As I step out of my shell, no more isolation, no more hell.
Look at my colors, look how they show, I can fly now.”

When she first arrived at Horizon View MHRC, she was shy and quiet, often hesitant to engage. Over time, her emotional, mental, and spiritual growth became clear to everyone. One of the most touching moments during her stay was when she stood in front of clients and staff to read a poem she had written, a beautiful and vulnerable expression of her journey.

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. Her progress reflects her strength and the compassionate, healing environment created together at Horizon View. For 60 years, Telecare’s legacy has been shaped by stories of hope, perseverance, and transformation.
