Rock Haven may provide care to non-Rock County residents

JANESVILLE — Rock Haven may open its beds to non-Rock County residents. Rock County’s Health Services Committee will see a resolution Wednesday to allow Rock Haven to accept out-of-Rock County referrals and residents into its care. Right now, Rock Haven is only open to residents of the county. Rock Haven is a Rock County-owned nursing home. If the committee OKs the resolution, it still needs approval from the full County Board, which could come as soon as Thursday. If ultimately approved by the board, it is unknown when Rock Haven would be opened up to non-Rock County residents. The county would need to establish, through an official policy, whether to allow residents from throughout Wisconsin and parts of Illinois, or just the counties immediately surrounding its current home turf. Rock Haven administrator Natalie Rolling-Edlebeck told The Gazette the nursing home receives referrals from outside Rock County “all the time.” There are 2-3 referrals from other counties on a daily basis. Many come from Dane and Green counties, with some from Walworth County. In the first week of November, there was even a referral out of Tennessee. “That’s potential revenue coming if we can meet the needs,” Rolling-Edlebeck said. While it

Rock County content creator is bringing back the joy of waiting for the mail with her Midwest Mail Club

JANESVILLE — Today's world is as fast-paced as it's ever been. Nearly everything people want or need is just a few clicks away. But one Rock County content creator is hoping to bring back the excitement of checking the mail. Not email, but the kind that shows up in a box near the road. Morgan Geyer has built an online following through her creative projects and nostalgic content. She recently launched a monthly mail club that delivers a collection of vintage-inspired items, recipes, newspaper clippings and other surprises directly to subscribers. “I feel like people, especially right now, are just itching for nostalgia,” Geyer said. “I feel like people are just missing the physical aspect of things.” Geyer began creating content about four years ago after the COVID-19 pandemic prompted her to stay home with her young children. A longtime creative, she began sharing videos of the crafts and projects she was working on. As people began responding to her content, the hobby gradually developed into a career. Although she shares a variety of projects online, Geyer said nostalgia has become the focus of her content over the past two years. The idea for the Midwest Mail Club came from
