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.

City of Janesvillle could turn to operating referendum to float 2028 budget

Hello, Rock County! Here are your top Tuesday headlines: Voters will see another referendum on the April 2027 ballot — but not for development on the GM/JATCO site.

Local nonprofit group Faire Market Institute, a cottage industry led by manager Alicia Klos, is launching The Janesville Mall Holiday Market at Uptown Janesville, the official name for the mall's new winter market. A proposed resolution going before a Rock County Board committee on Wednesday would allow Rock Haven, the county-owned nursing home, to accept referrals for residents outside of Rock County .
