What caring pathways of carrollton does

Caring Pathways of Carrollton is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 2150 N Josey Lane, Suite 318, Carrollton, TX 75006, that operates a Monday-through-Friday day program (approximately 7:45 AM to 3:30/3:45 PM) for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The program serves 35 clients per day (34 on Thursdays) and is delivered in-person at a single site by a team of approximately 14 staff, including a Board of Directors, with Janet Kelsay (founder, 32 years of special education experience) and Director Jake Davis (promoted from Client Specialist in March 2023) leading operations.

The organization is authorized by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to operate as an Individualized Skills and Socialization (ISS) program, the state regulatory framework governing adult IDD day services. It does not maintain a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is direct and human-led, with no disclosed AI, automation, or digital product. Clients are referred through county-level partners including Denton County MHMR, Dallas County Metrocare Services, and Collin County Health Care Services.

Revenue is generated through a mix of Medicaid waiver reimbursement (reportedly $15-$25 per client per day and stated to be below the cost of service), private-pay client fees, and donations, with the North Texas Giving Day campaign contributing approximately $100,000 in 2025. The organization is operating at stated capacity, and recent 2025 capital additions (a minivan and outdoor-space enhancements funded partly by grants) indicate incremental capability expansion rather than scale change.
