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. Instead, it will be to help fund city operations for the 2028 budget. Kylie Balk-Yaatenen reports from Janesville City Hall. 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 . Rock Haven only allows referrals for care from residents in Rock County. Do you have a story you'd like the Gazette to follow?

Rock County aims to ease nursing home subsidies by opening Rock Haven to residents outside county

JANESVILLE – Natalie Rolling-Edlebeck acknowledges that opening up Rock Haven to out-of-county nursing home residents could come at a cost, but she's not yet sure how much. Rolling-Edlebeck's reason behind a shift to accepting out-of-county and even out-of-state residents is to try to create maximum use Rock Haven's 120 beds. Right now, the nursing unit can staff for 112 beds, a formula based on available nurses and the needs of patients now at Rock Haven. But a low tide in residents creates a capacity and staffing cycle that limits the amount Rock Haven can get reimbursed for residents, how many nurses it can hire, and how it can offset operating costs — all factors that drive a subsidy that the county said in its last budget wound up being $750,000. That's down from Rock Haven being more than $2 million underwater in recent past years, in part because Medicaid reimbursements have increased in Wisconsin. But officials argue the ceiling for Rock Haven, which is county run, is low because of how it operates. Rock Haven is one of 10 skilled-care nursing homes in Rock County, but of those 10, Rock Haven is the only one that does not allow out-of-county
